tar compression - please help

I'm backing up one of my sites, and will be moving to another host. This was an expermintal site, and many of the directories won't be needed.

What tar command is needed to exclude directories from the compressed file? Could you also give an example.

also this might be the same comand, but -
what command is need to only compress FILES in the current directory, but not to include any DIRECTORIES?

I did check the man pages
-exclude
-x

but i'm not sure on how to use.

Thanks in advance,
-Taylor
