3. Sanitation is the most important thing.

Your bottles, your fermenting vessel, and any tubes you use etc. must be perfectly clean. My college chemistry training helped me to understand how to do it. Use soap to clean away the dirt, clear water to rinse, rinse, RINSE everything thoroughly. Then I always used distilled water to rinse away any minerals/chemicals left over from my tap water.
Starting your brewing experience with a Belgian cherry beer is kind of like learning to drive in a Porsche. Learn to balance the malts and hops and then start expanding into the exotics.
