Home Roasting

So A friend of mine and I recently set out to consolidate everything we know about coffee into one website and try to get people we know more excited about it. That being said, when we got to the part where we wanted to start getting into Home Roasting, we sort of fall short. 

While I am extremely interested in getting started with home roasting, its a pretty overwhelming hobby to get started with. With so many opinions out there on how to effectively get started, I am left sort of in the dark on where to actually begin. For those who are roasting at home, how did you get started?

My budget doesn't exactly permit any good machinery, but I have been reading through on Sweet Maria's guides on home roasting, and they seem pretty complete in the information there. 

I want to use my experience with getting started as something to show how easy it can be to get involved with home roasting, but am not really sure where to start, anyone have any good tips from when they got started?
