Rick, It sounds complicated because you're making it complicated. If you're a solo developer, you can get started by creating a repository on your own computer using tortoiseSVN and then accessing it via the file protocol. You can access the repository either using tortoise or subclipse.
Get started by creating three folders, branches, tags, and trunk. This is the recommended way to use SVN. Put all your code into trunk, and check it in after you certain milestones. If you do nothing else, you should already be getting benefits out of SVN, by having revision history, being able to go back to an older version of the code, seeing what changed between different revisions and having a backup in a different place. Then head over http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ when you have some spare time, and maybe even sign up for the svn-users list to learn more about subversion. The more you learn about it, the more you're going to love it, but as I showed above, it's pretty simple to get started.
