breeding I need information on breeding peppers!!!!

I'm growing several varieties of C. chinense this year and aside from harvesting viable, true to type/variety seed from all the individual ones (which I know how to do) I grow I would like to make some crosses. Is there a generally accepted way to do this? Can someone explain in depth for me and/or suggest good reading on the topic? 
 
Thanks!    
 
Or alternately, if you don't mind what varieties are crossed with what, get some bees... bees are great at that stuff. ;) I love 'em, I encourage 'em to hang around and wouldn't have it any other way.... but damn if they don't make seed saving a PITA! :lol:
 
Yup... the Fatalii.net guide is great... except who uses a cotton bud to collect pollen? We have finger tips people! :D
 
Thanks everybody! I'll read up on that and probably browse through it again when it comes time to get it done!
