It is important to flavor your rice before you use it.
You'll need rice vinegar, sugar, and a little salt.
For four cups of dry rice:
Cook the rice, then add about 4 tbsp of vinegar, 3 tbsp of sugar, and a teaspoon of salt. You can play with this ratio to taste.
Making rolls (see forseti-6's post) is much easier than making nigiri.
Another option, which is done in Japan, is to cover the bottom of a tray with rice, about 1.5 to 2 inches thick, and put layers of fish and other things you like on top of that. It's a lot easier and can look quite nice.
