What would be some good tips for someone who has only flew/landed tricycle type landing gear aircraft that will be trying for a taildragger?

The nice thing about landing a tricycle aircraft is that the added pitch helps the flare and you don't have to worry as much about hitting the tail.

A taildragger seems like you can't use as much nose up and requires a much more precise landing.

Anyone have any good info or tips?
