The type of splice depends on the type of rope you're splicing. With regular three-strand twisted rope, I've always made the splices by hand, a technique that is easy enough to do but difficult to explain and takes some practice. Splicing braided rope is much easier but requires a splicing needle, the size of which depends on the thickness of the rope. Sorry, I don't know of a website that demonstrates these techniques, but perhaps a Google search will turn one up for you.
