Christoph is Right!
This is the only way to set up unless you have an amp
that supports midi out or a pedal rack that supports
midi out Capabilitys for computer applications.
I use the microphone for voice and guitar for sound files
but on my old tape recorder i use the phone jack.
for converting old tapes to mp3s.Also i use the microphone for Recording Videos useing voice and guitar.
The only thing you have to do is try and balance your
sounds out so their not to loud plus sometimes thier not
loud enough.(Just experiment alitte untill you get a good
recording.Really i put my microphone up against my amp
like if you were mikeing it on stage for just guitar.
About 2 inchs from the amp.(I do use a sound room)
So i don't get unwanted noises when i do this.
But if you try the microphone way you have to move the
microphone around for voice and guitar untill you get
the voice and guitar balanced out.
I would never use the line out thats alittle scary unless
you want to blow your sound card.
I don't have a head phone jack on my amps but if you do
thats the way to go for just recording your guitar.
You will have to buy a patch chord to go from your amp
phone plug to your mike input on your sound card.
You can buy this at a computer store.
But i will say the (Midi) way is the best if you have
Midi Capabilitys on your amp or a affects board that supports Midi which i hope to get one of these days soon.
Also the Midi Capability is needed for alot of guitar software programs.(Guitar Studio programs ect).


Good-luck
