Installing a subpanel

Hi,
In an earlier post, I described my kitchen project and my need for a
subpanel. I'm now ready to undertake the project. So here's my
algorithm, is there anything wrong with it.
1. Install a 70 amp breaker in the main panel.
2. By #4 wire and connect it to that breaker as it if were just
another circuit.
3. Run that wire to the subpanel where, I assume, there will only be
one self-explanatory way of connecting it. (Will it be connected in
the same way as the cable that comes from the street is connected to
the main panel.)
4. Connect circuits to the subpanel.
Many thanks in advance,
Aaron
The only difference is that in the main panel, there will be a bonding
jumper that attaches the neutral/ ground buss to the panel. In the sub panel
you won't use that jumper and you may have to purchase and install a
separate ground buss. The neutral conductors will go to the insulated buss,
and the ground conductors will go to the buss directly attached to the panel
