Does anyone have a simple ESP8266 tutorial?

Your comments are a bit confusing.

At the beginning you ask about:

@keq

The project that I am working on is using a standalone ESP8266-01 with a DHT22

I gave you a link on how people get DHT22 working with ESP8266. I also gave you a link to another step-by-step tutorial about standalone ESP8266+Blynk

Then you say:

@keq

Then in the sketch there is nothing in the code that controls the GPIO pins.

What actually you need? Read sensor data or switch GPIOs ON/OFF ?

Next, have you successfully compiled Blynk on your ESP8266 ever?

If you need switching GPIOs - then no code is needed. Just connect an LED to the GPIO, Open app, select this GPIO in PIN field. Press PLAY - it should work.

If you need getting DHT22 data - follow @Bobbo_SA comments. You can also check another tutorial on Virtual Pins: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-use-Virtual-Pins-in-Blynk/
