Also see Arduino LCD Display, which was the original.
Overview
See Arduino LCD Display#Overview for an overview of how the LCD display works. It works by communicating with the microcontroller using I2C pins, which provide a way for integrated circuits to communicate with each other.
The Circuit
Breadboard Diagram
Need to make a firtzing diagram for this.
Breadboard Photo
Here's a photo of the breadboard:
