How do I take care of chilli plants from seed to fruitation?

So, yeah, I am a complete noob when it comes to plants. I can barely keep ones that have been done for me alive. But recently my friend bought me some chilli seeds and coir pots to grow my own chilli plants (5 types of seeds including tabasco, hungarian hot wax, jalapeno, demon red, anaheim) and I would like to grow them until they actual harvest as I love chillis and would love to be able to have fresh ones.

So what are some suggestions on how to plant the seeds into the coir pots and generally taking good care of them? I have had an attempt with one of the pots but I think I may have added too much water. The instruction book (not very helpful) said they should be kept moist though, and it is what I would say moist :D. Also I had no idea how deep to bury the seeds.

Thanks.
