No Start troubleshooting help

I Put my truck up for the winter, last November, and have just recently gotten around to wanting to drive it again.
problem is that it will not start.. no noises. So after consulting the shop manual, I have tested the battery, cleaned All of the connections in the engine room, managed to verify that the starter is not at falt.
The manual speaks to putting a jumper wire on the starter relay, between :BATT and IGN,and if no results are seen, to ground the Ground(?) terminal which is supposed to isolate the clutch safety switch. If, then there is no results the starter relay is at fault. So thinking I had this gremlin in the bag, I bought a relay.. still nothing. Have I missed something? and how would I go about continuing to trouble shoot this?
Also, how do I go about putting a signature on the end of the post? Is that what The attach file is for?

Well
