Question about crate training a dog?

Ok ive never crate trained a dog and im not sure how to do it. Do I put food and water in the crate or let it out to eat and drink? If you could please help me with the basics.

The basics are:

Place the dog in the crate when you are not able to supervise it. During the day when you are at work or just away. Put the dog in at night for bedtime. Put a good blanket or pad for comfort, and I do not recommend putting food or water in there. Dogs are den animals, they should not potty in the crate. However, if you make the crate too big, it can potty in the corner and sleep in another corner. Give the dog enough space to sit up, turn around and lay down. The dog will not potty where it sleeps if you do this. Feed the dog in another area of your home, kitchen, office, where ever you choose. If you let the dog eat and drink whenever it wants to, then you will develop potty issues. Just with everything else you need to set limits, including the food and water in the crate. Do not worry it really is not mean to the dog.
If your dog complains when you put in the crate, give treats, kongs or a favorite toy. It should help comfort it. But do not give in the the crys or complaints of your dog. He/she will soon associate it as a safe quiet place. When you are at home with the dog, leave the crate door open. That will help them realize they can go in at any time.

My dog absolutely hated his crate when we got him as a pup. Screamed and barked and would not stop. We didn't sleep for a week. It seemed impossible but we ignored him. Now 10 months later, i find him 9 times out of 10 in his crate sleeping when I leave the door open.
