You can either make one of three or four basic build types: Faith for miracle, Int for spells, Strength or Dex for weapons, or Vit and End for survival.
Pick one and stick to it rather strongly. It's ok to invest a few points so you can use the weapon you want or so you have a little extra health or stamina, but it is not a good idea to put some points into faith and int.
Understand that certain weapons benefit based on your stats. For example a dagger might scale off your Dex to a A level while a greatsword might scale to strength off a B level. Pick weapons that benefit from your stats of choice.
Dark Souls is probably my favorite recent game and if you get stuck on something I'll try to answer it. Part of the fun of the game is the difficulty though, so it's hard not to ruin it in that manner.
ANd understand the online features. Signs are left on the ground to warn you of traps usually. And if you become human you can summon help but at the same time put yourself at risk of being invaded by another player.
