I think by adding all the technical details in blue messes everyone up. I remember long ago there is a rule that programers have to follow and that is to bend backwards in creating systems to make it more user friendly/easier to understand atleast.
That page is very confusing for someone who just needs a dam example to follow. /rant
I agree with you, when I first started using Linux I found adding PPAs to be rather confusing and I did exactly what you were doing above (even after clicking the "Read about installing" link). I had to watch a YouTube video to figure it out properly and understand it. I guess I needed a dam example to follow to get it right too. Stuff like this can get rather confusing to former / long time Windows users who are used to just double clicking on a thing and that's it. In any case, PPAs do have their advantages and after figuring them out and using them a few times I'm sure things will become much easier and clearer for you.
The instructions torreydale provided look exactly correct to me.
