Hi Harald.

Is there a reason why  you didn't start with the headers? Putting them 
in first enables avoids having to hold them, while soldering the first 
two pins. All other components (except the power connector) have clips.

Also a good tip for beginners. Put solder into one hole of the header. 
Now put on the header. It won't go through that one hole, but the other 
holes will keep it in place. Now you can hold the PCB and gently press 
the header on to it with one hand and tip against the soldered hole with 
the iron from the other side. The solder point needs some rework after 
some other pins got soldered in and probably will never look as nice as 
the others, but as I said: It a solution for beginners. :-)

Cheers
Morty
