Chris-
it's really quite simple, if you have any knowledge of layering prints and can register the print straight you're set. Some tips I have:

-use new, sharp tools for the best detail. A V guage, U-shape guage and flat blade are most useful and all you need, really.
-use fresh linoleum. I order mine from dickblick.com, (battleship grey variety) and it's great!
-with colors, sometimes it's easiest to just work with a mono-chromatic pallette (yellow, gold, brown etc).
-more than 5 layers of color tend to get too thick on the paper, and won't print as well. I wouldn't recommend printing more than 5 colors.
-work light to dark, printing the lightest color first, then successively darker.
-just treat it like a drawing, and have fun!

I hope this helps you out. if you have any questions, drop me a note. good luck with your project!
