For flashing the bootloader I recommend the very affordable USBtinyISP by adafruit. Just program and upload as usual with the Arduino IDE and a USB/TTL converter like this or that. If you have trouble to upload code with the Arduino IDE, maybe auto-reset doesn’t work. There’s a Perl script that enables auto-reset with FTDI USB/serial adapter cables. There’s also the option to upload code by manually resetting the board as described here.

    What are those female headers called? I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while.

    Called? I could give you the German name for them, but that wouldn’t help I guess. For me they’re just ‘female headers’ when I use the English language ;-) There are the cheap ones (square pins) and the ‘precision’ / ‘machined’ types (round pins). The 10pin female headers used on the board are the cheap ones, the 8pin headers are the ‘better’ ones.
