If I remember correctly, pin 1 is +5, and pin 8 is ground. Of course
it will blow your chip up if I am wrong, so you might want to check
the data sheet (download from microchip.com). I think the pin out is
on one of the first few pages.
I would also recommend a good beginners electronic book for the basics
so you don't fry too many components without knowing what does what. I
always liked the old Forest Mims III books.
