As a start: Right around sundown hit the main breaker to your home so no power is in use on Friday night. Wait until and hour after sundown on Saturday night to turn the main breaker back on. I'm "sure" that's how TOJs "fully" do it.
Are you asking because you are interested in keeping Shabbos yourself? You can start by not posting in this forum during Shabbos and Yom Tov. Once you have that down, light candles Friday night. When you've done that, let me know, and I can give you some more instruction.

Yes...If it pleases HaShem to do so...
Yom tov...Good Day?...Ahhh, ANY Jewish religious festival...
How many candles?...And what type of candles and how long do I leave them lit?...
I sense a bit of negativity in your post...Look at this as a Mitzvah for you...And don't be so snide...
Upwards of twenty years ago many (Ultra) Orthodox Jews had them. As we entered the internet age, many other Jews found out. So the first explanation that came out was it done only by who could afford it. As a few years past then it was dependent on which group one belonged to, followed by which Rabbi and of course the fringe. Now they call it a myth.

Theflipflop is not being snide. Pruzhany is, and is inaccurate as well, most likely intentionally. The observance of Shabbos is not so much complicated as it is the sum of a LOT of details. You are unlikely to get a really good answer on the net. An orthodox rabbi is the best place to start. You could also get "To Be a Jew" by Rabbi Hayim Donin. There are probably several other good books that you could start with.
Good luck!
