In short:
Combine equal amounts of ww flour* and water.
Cover loosely
Leave in warm spot (near urn)
Every 12 hours, discard 1/2 and feed with equal amounts of flour and water.
Mine took 3 weeks to activate this way.

Between carpools has a great post on creating a starter.

*I used whole wheat until my starter was active and then switched to a blend

I've been making sourdough stater for many years and this is what works well for me:

I use whole wheat flour for my stater but all purpose for my baking. Non chlorine water - either filtered or spring water works fine.

Day 1
1 teaspoon flour
1 teaspoon water
Add to glass jar and mix. Let sit 24 hours.

Day 2
1 teaspoon flour
1 teaspoon water
Add to starter mixture and mix.

Day 3
2 teaspoons flour
2 teaspoons water
Add to starter and mix

Day 4
4 teaspoon flour
4 teaspoon water
Add to glass jar and mix. Let sit 24 hours.

Day 5
8 teaspoon flour
8 teaspoon water
Add to glass jar and mix. Let sit 24 hours.

Day 6
16 teaspoon flour
16 teaspoon water
Add to glass jar and mix. Let sit 24 hours.

I don't discard anything.
After day 6 my starter is ready to use.
