Yup, just wanted to totally second everything aavt just said. You'll often (a little more on other diapering forums I find) see all kinds of complicated washing instructions and posts about diaper stink and the millions of things you can do to avoid it or fix it. It can get really overwhelming and worrisome but I just wouldn't go there unless you need to. Just stick to the basics, cold pre-rinse, hot wash with small amount of detergent and maybe an extra rinse just for good measure. Stay away from bleach and fabric softener. Dry on the line to save wear and energy if you feel like it or just throw them in the dryer if you don't.

The only thing I'd like to add is that if you're exclusively breastfeeding you can just put poopy diapers as is in the diaper pail. After that you just do a pre-rinse (just plain cold water) before washing. Exclusively breastfed baby poop is water soluble and hardly stinks so it'll just rinse away and won't stink up your pail.
