Default [Q]Do a fullwipe then simply install the rom?

Hey guys I have some knowledge about rooting (rooted the G1 first- the good ol days haha). My question is about flashing new roms. Currently I have the juggernaut rom and was curious as to understand what steps do I need to take to flash another rom? Do a fullwipe then simply install the rom? My second question deals with kernels. If I want to flash a rom and on the thread it gives me a kernel to flash as well is this what i do? Wipe everything, then flash the rom, then reboot, then go back and flash the kernal? Thank you guys for your help!!

I always do a wipe before flashing a new rom. Not sure if it really matters and I usually flash a rom and then flash a kernel without leaving cwm or rebooting.

So you flash the rom, then if given the kernel during recovery mode then reboot?

Yeah, make sure you flash the kernel before you reboot, but after the you flash the rom

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
