The best advise would to go slow and careful. Its not that anodizing is that hard, but it will be strange to an individual without any electrochemical backround.
Do what you've been doing; read a much as you can find here and elsewhere, if you don't understand something ask. Don't just guess, or ignore an instruction, they are all there for a good reason. You should read all of the stickys at the top of this page carefully, there is also a reason that they are sticky.
As always; the number one cause of anodization problems for beginners is the electrical connection to the work, this alone accounts for 90% of the problems. I'm speaking from long experience here.
You don't need welded connections, unless you would rather avoid the inevitable connection issues entirely right at the start. All of us here bolted or threaded the connections with aluminum wire long before there was any Sputwelder. And we all learned to hate bolting and threading, but with enough effort we all made it work.
