Listen to ATIS, and put the heading bug on the direction of the wind so you can remember. Center the nose with rudder, wings into wind wil yoke. the rest is just like you land every other time. Keep the yoke in the same direction after you touch down and increase the amount of correction as you slow. If I encounter a guts where it lifts me at the last second, add just a pinch of power and pull it out quickly again. This will prevent a gust lifting you and then you touching down hard. Remember, putting the rudder in the oppsite direction lifts the oppsite wing too, so some of the work is already done for you.
