well, i'm also not that deep into electronics, too.
the simplest method is hooking up a standard LED with a 220 ohm resistor to D0, D1, D2,...D7 (+5V). as ground, you can take any pin from G0-G7.
i made a little image (ok, the image of the port is stolen from a website...) to show which pins on the parallel port are used to wire up the LEDS.
of course you can hook up a more complex circuits too. a standard parallel port gives you 5V and up to 15 mA current. this should be sufficient for most circuits.
i will add this diagram to the zip-file.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
