1st time changing brake fluid and oil myself, tips?

Anyone have any tips for someone about to change his brake fluid and oil himself? Never done either before. Will be using jackstands. Thanks!

and go to walmart and pic up the replacment oil bolt by FRAM. allows you to change your oil with out tool and to attach a small hose to the oil reservoir.
