Try not to overheat the joints.  You can delaminate the traces if they get too hot.  I like to use a flux pen in tight areas, but most importantly use good solder.  A nice thin high silver content solder works best for me.  Rosin core solder can gum things up a bit and it involves a little extra cleaning afterwards, but it works.  If you're going to do a lot of soldering in the future it might be wise to get an adjustable heat station like a Hakko.  It makes a world of difference to have the right tools for the job.
