8 LED Chaser 555

I dont have alot of experience with electronic components, only soldering and what does what to a certain extent. i want to make an 8 LED Chaser using a 555 timer, and some resistors and capacitors, is that possible? if so how do i know which pin on the timer gets connected to which?
If anyone could help i would greatly appreciate it.

Here is one. If you google the ic's you will find data sheets that will show how to count the pins. Come back here if you need help.

The circuit linked to will give an effect like the attached with 10 LEDs. Modification for 8 LEDs is pretty simple. So when you say LED Chaser that is what we assume you want.
