You invest pretty much the same way in a 401k as you do on your own. You add in money and then pick the funds you want to invest in.

Read the FAQ on investing
Open a IRA (either roth or traditional, probably Roth for you) with someone like Vanguard, Fidelity, Charles Schwab. I use fidelity, I love their customer support.
Pick some investment, typically index funds to invest in. I would recommend something like FZROX to start with. It is easy and pretty much a set and forget it.
As you get more comfortable read up on 3 fund portfolio.
