Hello! Firstly, welcome to Silk Road.

Now I can definitely help you with how to purchase bitcoins, but I'd first like to say, if you aren't able to figure it out, you're probably not consulting a few of the guides on safe shopping on the Silk Road. You should definitely do a bit more research on your own on things like PGP/GPG encryption before acquiring bitcoin and making a purchase. They can definitely help you to protect yourself and remain anonymous.

There are several ways to acquire bitcoin. Simplest methods include placing an order on bitinstant and using an instant cash deposit (where you fill out the form, physically deposit the cash at a bank location provided, then receive the bitcoin you ordered), or using a dwolla account in conjunction with an exchange site like mtgox. Some vendors here on Silk Road, such as BTCKing, will also help you out (see the digital currency / money sections).

Stay smart and stay safe. Learn how to protect you and your vendors. Good luck, and happy traveling on the Silk Road! :)

Intersango seem to be over their problems now. I've used them for some time. Never had a major problem.
