It sounds like you want to work blo, or "back loop only". This will produce a ridge along the row when viewed from the right side of the work. It is produced by working the double crochet stitches into the back loop only, of the single crochet stitches in the row below. Its very nice looking and if you work a swatch in the back loop only, and turn it on its side, you will see that it looks and stretches a bit like ribbing.
Hdc is the abreviation for half double crochet. When you double crochet you wrap wool around the hook before you push the hook through the stitch to pull up a loop. After you pull up the loop you have three loops on your hook. Usually you will then pull a loop through two of the loops and pull a second loop through the remaining two loops. With the half double crochet you will pull one loop through all three loops.

The word "post" in crochet is referring to the whole stitch--generally a "tall" stitch (such as a double crochet, triple crochet, etc).The reason the instructions refer to the stitch in the row below, is so the crocheter understands that you are to stitch around the stitch below--the "post" of the stitch. Otherwise, if the instructions stated that you were to double crochet the next stitch, you would understand that you would be double crocheting into the top of the stitch below, versus crochet around the length of the stitch.You also notice that the instructions will say to "back post double crochet (bpdc)" which means to bring your stitch around the post from the back position. So, "front post, double crochet (fp dc)" would mean to bring your stitch in from the front side of your work.
