Hello everyone! This morning Santa left me a Megaminx puzzle, which is pretty exciting. I have learned to solve many different puzzle cubes, but a Dodecahedron is different news entirely.
I am a visual learner and I like to start out with easy albeit slow solutions. I have been using this guide:
http://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/megaminx.htm

But I have hit a snag. I am on step 1d, where I am placing edge pieces at the middle of the puzzle, using the moves listed in c. The middle corner pieces have been placed.
Here's the problem. The c moves the DR edge to FR, and FD edge to FR. However, I want to move the DR/FD edge to FU! One would think I could just move the F (front of the puzzle) and relocate DR/FR/FD elsewhere to suit my needs, but in these moves given, D (the bottom of the puzzle) is disrupted. This means I can't move... so how do I get the DR/FD edge to FU?

Thank you in advance, I hope I have been specific enough. :)
 
I begun watching the videos you all recommended... but I'm lost on when he says to make the Vs at 3:50. Putting the corners in the right place is simple enough, but I can't figure out how to put the edge pieces in. The video moves a little too fast for me to keep up with!
