I'm happy to help.
The simplest exercise for the obliques is basically a stretch. Stand with your feet slightly more than shoulder width apart and place your right hand in front of (not touching) your hips or stomach. Take your left hand and stretch it over your head. Lean to the right as far as you can, then back off a little. Try to hold that position for a count of 10 seconds at first. Then slowly stand back up and switch sides. It sounds really easy, but you can feel it when you start. As you get better, you'll be leaning over farther, and you can increase the time you hold the position.
"Twists" are another exercise that helps with the obliques. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, elbows out, fists a few inches front of your nipples. Twist your upper body as far as you can to the right w/o moving your hips. Your knees should not be stressed by this. Then twist back to the center, and then the other side. Once you get the motion down, you can do these rapidly and in great number.
There are two variations of crunches that help with the obliques. The first involves twisting your torso as you sit up. Lay on your back, with your knees bent. As with regular crunches, your feet can either be flat on the floor, or you can hold your legs in a "sitting in a chair" position. Clasp your hands behind your head, elbows out. When you sit up, twist to bring your right elbow as close to your left knee as possible. I've only ever met one person who can actually get them to touch, so don't stress on that. Go back down. On the next up, twist so your left elbow gets close to your right knee. Starting out, you will probably not even be able to do half as many of these as you do of regular crunches, but don't worry, as you do them, you'll get better. :)
The other variation of crunches for the obliques is to twist your hips. When your laying on the floor on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, lift your feet up, twist your legs, and lay your legs flat to one side, knees still bent. Do your crunches as "normally" as possible (don't twist). After a set, switch your legs to the other side.

I can't seem to find the links I used a few years ago to look up the exercises I just detailed above, but hopefully my descriptions were good enough.
