Composting is simple thing that some people have tried to make hard, particularly people who want to sell books on composting.

Mix it as best you can, stick the pile somewhere and let it rot down. When you get a wild hair go out with a pitch fork and mix it a bit. If you are in an area that gets heavy rainfall have something to throw over the top so it doesn't get soggy (aka smelly) and the goodies don't leach out.

Another option is sheet composting. Mix it up, spread out, and let nature do the rest. I have seen this method used in botanical gardens. BTW - This is also the method mother nature uses.

Either way, composting is simple.
