So I hear there is a solar eclipse coming next week

Wouldn't mind getting a few shots of this event but need some advice. i have been told to use an ND filter. i think I have found what I need http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/62MM-Neutral-Density-ND2-ND4-ND8-Filter-Set-for-Canon-Nikon-Sony-Tamron-/220906118396?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item336f07dcfc

but wouldnt even know where to start. anyone got any tips for me on how to safely shoot the eclipse?

Edit this variable one looks OK too? ..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/62mm-Fader-Neutral-Density-Adjustable-Variable-ND-Filter-ND2-to-ND400-Case-305-/141212422188?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item20e0ea902c
