Hi, and welcome!
First, take a deep breath. You're in good hands. I don't necessarily mean my hands -- jeez louise, it would be a disaster if I personally promised to debug every newcomer's circuit!
What I mean is, if you have the patience to answer a bunch of questions, and a willingness to learn more than you were planning to learn, then you have found the right place.
I'll get started with two important bits:
1) We can't really tell what you are trying to make without more detail. I think you mentioned a diagram.... Can we see it?
2) There is a "debugging page" link above. Please click it and read a while with your favorite beverage in hand. This is not meant to chase you away. Quite the contrary. It is more to get you used to the questions you will be asked and the questions you should ask yourself.
We help because we enjoy helping. Now, take some time and carefully tell us on more specifically how we can help you.
(or, ask more questions. That'll get us closer to an answer too.)
Personally, I'm going to bed. Other awesome people will help you while I sleep, I predict.
One last thing:
For your pics, try to get more ambient light involved so you don't have hard shadows that look like tons of additional black wires.
