Which boost did you get? Best tip I've ever been given is blu tack. It's really great for holding components in place while you solder.
Follow the instructions and you will be fine

the search feature is pretty good on that forum
Resistors are all colour coded according to the series of coloured rings. This is a decent guide for deciphering them:

Alternatively, if you have a multimeter you can just check the resistance of each.
Capacitors usually have the value printed on them. Some of them are unpolarised and it won't matter which way round they go. Some of them are polarised and need to be placed in the correct orientation. The polarity is easily determined by looking at the leg length; the long leg is positive.
Finally, remember that Fuzzdog is an excellent chap and very helpful. If you get stuck, drop him an e-mail and he'll normally get back to you quickly.
Which boost did you get, out of interest?
Then, before soldering every component, I double check and triple check its the right one, just to be absolutely sure. It's not difficult, you just need to be thorough and patient.
