I'm not an Electrician first I would make sure that the power is off going to the switch. I would then attach the wires in the following order.
1. White wire switch to white wire with blue electrical nut.
2. Black wire to the Black wire coming from the light.
3. Blue wire to the other black line.
4. Green ground wire to the other one in the back of the box.
Then after you can turn the electric on and test the switch. Please make sure power is off and if you don't feel comfortable with this please call an electrician.

The second black line is actually grey, don't know if that is important.
Is that not two white wires? Should I connect it to both and screw the nut back on?
Thanks for you help! I am at work but will try when I get home.
P.S. The breaker for the switch is turned off when I am doing this, already tested that :P

I did notice that in the picture but I would try it and test to make sure it works. It look like that th eload wire from the box. I think it should work. I would do it that way also Blue to the Gray wire.
