Hi there. This is the first time I've used this website so I don't understand the lingo.

Can someone help me with the following puzzle?

l9..l5..l...l
l253l...l.1.l
l..1l2..l...l

l.6.l.32l..5l
l1..l6.8l..9l
l3..l49.l.7.l

l...l..4l6..l
l.9.l...l741l
l...l..9l..3l

I've managed to get to this point:

l9..l5..l362l
l253l9..l81.l
l6.1l2.3l95.l

l.69l.32l.85l
l1..l6.8l.39l
l3..l49.l.76l

l53.l..4l698l
l89.l3..l741l

Alex, you'll need to use colors to get beyond this point ( see also http://angusj.com/sudoku/hints.php#colors )
