It is fairly simple.
If you have investigated the Buddha's teachings and have come to believe that this is the path (and it is a path) that you want to follow in your life then you simply need to take the refuge ceremony, either by yourself, or in a Buddhist Temple or with a Buddhist Monk.
The refuge ceremony is your statement that you intend to use the Buddha (the first know enlightened one), his teachings (the Dharma) and his followers (The Sangha, which is the Monks, Nuns, lay persons that follow The Buddha and all enlightened beings (other Buddhas)) as your guides in life.
It is well explained here:

How do you become a member of Buddhism?
It is recommened that a person wishing to become a Buddhist takes advantage of their local Buddhist Centre. This is so that they can get the full benefits of teachings, meditations and a good Buddhist community. At a Buddhist Centre there is also an abudance of information, books and general Buddhist related things that can help you get started in your practice. It is possible to simply pick up a book or meditate at home but i would say it is much more beneficial to be in the company of other Buddhists and to be in a Buddhist environment. To become a Buddhist a person first 'takes refuge'. This is a ceremony that can take place at your local Buddhist Centre. Here is a website with some information on taking refuge: http://www.viewonbuddhism.org/refuge.HTML
