Default jack stands

OK, here's a real newbie question. I've been jacking up the car one wheel or side at a time for little things. (that's fine right?)

To get the car on 4 jack stands for the winter, though I'm figuring I need to jack the middle of the the front...put it on stands, then jack the back. So how do I keep this thing from rolling when I go to jack the back? Though the floor is flat, does the car risk tipping the jack stands when I unweight the rear wheels.

Also, the jack point in the back seems obvious, but where is the right jack point in the front?

And where do the jack stands go in the front---right at the frame corners near the gussets?

Do you put pads on your jacks to keep the frame paint from chipping?

Thanks,
Tom
