I'm using a Asus 24" LED VG248QE Monitor,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313
which comes with a Ordinary headphone jack, and NOT a microphone jack, but it has a "LINE IN" jack.
I'm wondering if its possible to maybe get my microphone to work through the audio line in socket?
From what i've been reading trying to look for answers, i've found that it should be possible, but i need someone who might be able to tell me how it is done.

The audio line in relies on power from the signal source . Microphones are powered by the PC or the device you connect it too. This wont work as you describe it. If you have an MP3 player or a cell phone audio splitter you can do this by running the mic to the player and the output to the audio line in port. There are also USB sound cards that will let you do what you want.
