Can't think of any links off-hand, so here's a "in a nutshell" response.
BP eggs need: 89 degrees (or so), 100% humidity (or as high as possible), oxygen. The way in which you provide these criteria are up to you, but most breeders use a stable incubator and plastic containers for egg boxes. Moist vermiculite (soak and squeeze out all excess water) for a medium will keep the humidity high in the egg box, and air exchange every few days will provide enough oxygen while keeping humidity high. Don't turn the eggs, set them up in the orientation that they were laid.
Babies will pip and come out on thier own when they are ready. When you set up the hatchlings, no need to "bathe" them in anything, just make sure to keep the humidity high (I use moist paper towels) until they shed the first time. They will take thier first meal after this shed.
BP eggs are fairly hardy, but staying close to these guidelines will ensure good results. This is a crash course, but I think I covered all the major points.
