How do I store bitcoins on blockchain.info? Sorry if it's a basic question but I'm very new to bitcoin.

Do not do that. Blockchain.info is a online wallet and it is susceptible to hacks. Never use such a wallet for storing a larger amount of Bitcoin! Have people learned nothing from the Inputs.io fiasco?

I've seen a few mentions of "cold storage".

I'd appreciate hearing how and where?

Thanks

Here you can find information on what 'cold storage' is. Here is a tutorial related to it (note: I haven't watched it myself as I'm unable to at the moment).

There are various ways of storing Bitcoin and you can find many (including guides and tutorials) by doing simple searches on Google or on the forum. This really depends on what you want to do with your coins. If you want to store them for a very long time then I recommend using a offline device. Just make sure that it is clean before you transfer your Bitcoins there. If you have some money to spend and want to use your coins, then I recommend getting a hardware wallet. Personally I'm storing a small amount on a device using Bitcoin Core with a good password.

I use plenty of flash drives to store my wallet.dat files, each flash drive contains like 8 wallet files for extra safety. I use this method since Januari 2013 and it works like a charm.

I plug them in once a month to refresh my backups. It takes some effort but as we all know, better safe than sorry.

Cold storage for the biggest chunk and a mobile wallet for daily spending.

Any suggestions on where a person who has already purchased bitcoins through Coinbase / circle should store them? I'm open to any suggestions from members. Thanks
