I tried to enchant some elven boots with fortify magicka but it wouldn't do it. It said I couldn't use this enchantment with that item. I could do something like resist fire on them but not a fortification. Any clues as to why?

Its getting to the stage now were I'm chasing the dragons, begining to think they are scared of ME 
.
I fired a couple of arrows in to one last night and he scarpered, what a wimp lol.
Regarding the "Soul Trap", what vendor do you go to exactly to get this? The mage in Dragonsearch dose not have it and a few vendors I have been to dont have it. Must be some were I have not been yet.
Any ideas??

IIRC, I got Soul Trap from a guy in the pub in Winterhold. He's in a side room, name begins with N.

Nice one cheers buddy
I did the quest last night and got The Black Star. I've just looked at an enchanting guide and it says this:
'Enchanting is very easy to train with the Black Star. Just enchant soul trap for 1 second on a weapon, trap the soul and reaload the weapon using the Black Star. Repeat.'
I don't really get it though, could someone please break it down for me as I don't understand what it's telling me to do.

When you use an enchanted weapon, it has a certain amount of "energy" in it which depletes with each use. You refill the energy using filled soul gems.

The soul trap is an enchantment/spell that lasts for x seconds. If you kill a human within those x seconds their soul is automatically stored in a black soul gem or the black Azura's star. You then use it to enchant items or refill enchanted weapons. In the case of a black soul gem, it is destroyed in the process whereas Azura's star is just emptied ready to be used again.

There's a mage in the pub in Winterhold who sold it to me, and I reckon you could buy it from the Mage's Guild as well.

Turn the difficulty up
Indeed, dragons are not that easy if you are facing them on your own. They will scale though as you level and get notably harder.
If you are finding it easy to solo them then turn your difficulty up. If you are in groups or have a follower / companion then the early ones are easy.

Wait, the black axuras star destroys upon use?

How do you fill standard Soul Gems, or are they one-use deals? I've collected a load of normal and petty ones, etc, but thought they had to be filled before I could recharge my weapons?

It is probably not too bad if you actually decide to level it, I am sitting on 53 enchanting without trying, thats just from disenchanting random finds havn't been doing any actual enchants yet apart from 3 or 4 basic ones a while ago, I have a ton of crap soul gems in my house, I'll probably fill them tonight and see what I can get my enchanting up to when I try.
Caporegime
You do it using soul trap. But the difference with standard soul gems is that you can only capture creatures' souls. Not humans. You also have to have the right size. e.g. a petty soul gem will not hold a sabre cat soul. Likewise, if you fill a grand soul gem with a mud crab soul, it will be a waste.

Nope, Azura's Star is a multi use Soul Gem, it'll never break.
You need to use the Soul Trap spell/enchantment on your enemies and then kill them before the spell wears off. If you have a soul gem in your inventory large enough to hold their soul, the soul gem will fill. You can then use the filled soul gem to either recharge your weapons to to enchant new ones.
Not really, I jumped up 16 levels in 20 minutes last night just by having a load of Iron Daggers and continually enchanting them with lesser/petty soul gems and an Absorb Health enchantment. If I had more soul gems I could have gone up 20 odd levels in no time.
