I just got some "Chinese Juniper - Juniperus Chinensis" seeds from ebay
and I'm ready to get started with the germination process, problem is..
I want to be very careful and make the most educated decisions when
growing this plant. I'm sure a bonsai guru will be here to confirm and
guide me through the process.

I also got this bonsai kit from ebay that are supposedly some type of
pine seeds, I followed all the instructions in the book along with the
steps given by the guy on this site:
http://www.irateweirdos.com/bo nsai/bonsai.htm

Here are the steps I took for the pine bonsai:

1. Soak on water for 24hrs.
2. Set in refrigerator wrapped in paper towel for one week.
3. Lightly press seeds into already moist pellet that came with the
kit.
(Final stage done about two days before this post)

Let me know if I am going wrong anywhere, your advice will be -greatly-
appreciated... did I mention this is my first bonsai plant? By the
way.. are there any good online resources for bonsai?

Here's a few pictures just in case my seeds were mislabeled .
