I broke it down into baby steps so that anyone can do this!
1.Download Redsn0w to your desktop Windows: http://theiphoneproject.org/windows/redsn0w-win_0.7.2.zip
2.Mac:
http://bentkowski.com.pl/redsn0w-mac_0.7.2.zip
3.I you are not on the 3.0 software and you want it for free, click here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XVS5J8D8 Download it to your desktop. Double click on the zipped folder and double click on the folder in that. You will then see the Restore IPSW file. Click on it and drag that whole file to your desktop. It will just be easier to find later when you need it if it is on your desktop. Open iTunes and click on your iPod then click shift restore and point to that IPSW file. Click open. iTunes will update you to the 3.0 software for FREE!!!!!!!!! Then you may proceed with the jailbreaking process as I have outlined.
4.If you want to pay for it (ARE YOU KIDDING ME?) sorry about that! Update in iTunes all on your own and pay for it. If you are already running 3.0, still download it to your desktop so that you can click to point it out on Redsn0w in step 18.
5.Unzip Redsn0w file that you put on your desktop
6.Double click on the zip folder
7.Double click on Redsn0w win or Mac depending on what computer you are using to perform the jailbreak.
8.Double click on redsn0w.exe
9.Click extract all
10.Extract all to your desktop
11.Double click on your NEW unzipped folder that is n your desktop and click on redsn0w
12.Double click on Redsn0w 0.72
13.Double click on redsn0w.exe
14.Click Run
15.You will now see Welcome to Redsn0w 0.72! If you do not, you did something wrong. Do it all again. Do not worry. You will do fine 
16.Make sure you are connected via USB and click Browse
17.Browse for the software on your desktop that we downloaded earlier in step 3.
18.Click it and Redsn0w will verify that it is the correct IPSW file
19.The next step will be to choose Icy and Cydia.
20.Click next and the instructions will tell you to power off your device.
21.After you have powered off the next step tell you exactly what to do. YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO DO THIS FAST. IT DOES NOT WAIT. WHEN IT HIGHLIGHTS THE NEXT STEP, MOVE ALONG WITH IT!
a.)Hold down Power for three seconds
b.)Without releasing the Power button, hold down the Home button (bottom center) for ten seconds
c.)Without releasing the Home button, release the Power button, BUT KEEP holding the Home button for 30 seconds.
22.Everything will finish from there.
