I have the camera, but now..

Hi all, I am thinking about getting in to some digiscoping, mainly because my camera isn't the best at cropping and holding detail, so would love to get that bit closer to birds in nature reserves (and every where else)!
My camera is a fujifilm finepix s200exr (a bridge camera, so no changeable/detachable lenses). It has a 30.5-436mm lens which is great for a bridge camera, but it does tend to soften the image at the end of its zoom still isn't long enough lots of occasions! Its quite wide, at 67mm, so may be a bit awkward for this..

I have been doing some reading and know I need, the scope, a 67mm stepping wring, and a digital adaptor. But this is where I don't know what to do next!

Do I need a stepping up, or down wring? Would this be apropriate?
I haven't a clue about the adaptor, from the site above, what sort of thing would I need to be after?

Scope wise, I have a budget of under £100, so far this looks OK to me, obviously it has its drawbacks, but you get what you pay for! It has enough zoom for me, since I discovered even my dads 10x50 binoculars see further than my camera!

That's about all my questions (sorry about there being so many!), but if you know of anything else I have missed out, or any good articles on the subject, please tell!

thanks
Bill :)
