This is a pretty good article. The one issue is blade height, he is quite right in my experience in that low height does increase risk of kick-back but with these modern carbide tipped blades they often make a cleaner cut with less tear-out.
Walking a long board into the saw and keeping it against the fence isn't practical if you can't see. A good feather board to keep it next to the fence would help a lot. If you have enough money they also make power feeders but I have never even seen one let alone used one.
