Some trial and error. Some reading. Mostly seat of my pants. For websites try http://www.bicycletouring101.com/ , http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/, http://www.adventurecycling.org/ or do a google for bicycle touring. Unfortunately that will get you a whole lot of touring companies (not real touring but there is some wheat with the chafe)

Or you can look at Ken Kifer's pages. I don't agree with everything he has to say but there is some good information in there.
