Hi Polo,
All is not lost. I would first suggest you have a read of the three sticky's ( those posts at the top ) of General Photography Technique.
A bit to digest, don't worry about posting any questions you may have from that.
Motion blurr requires slow shutter speeds so I am afraid you will need to support the camera some how, and a tripod is the best option. To use your comment - you may feel like a bit of a tw*t, but in reality hardly anyone who sees you really cares one way or another.
From the stickys you will see that in fairly bright light you will need a low ISO and small aperture on the lens to get the correct exposure combination. If you use a camera with adjustable controls, all this is achievable. On a compact with program only exposure then more of a problem.
I hope this is of some help. If not please say so.
Don
