Basically, here are the main points. I do suggest you read up on camera techniques on your manual. Here is a link that will also get you started.

http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-achieve-blurred-backgrounds-in-portraits/

-Use focal length 50 or above
-Get as close to the subject as you can
-Get the subject as far from the background as you can
-Use the widest aperture you have
