The soldering tip is only 1 part, tip temperature and soldering style are others. There are so many different tips to choose from, hopefully you got a small assortment with your soldering station. Take your time learning to solder, and try out each tip until you find the one that works best for you.
Pick up some bread board, grab bag of parts, and practice. Solder down a couple of parts, look at your work. Don't get too concerned with solder bridges or voids. Adjust and solder down a couple more parts. After doing this a few times you will find solder bridges and voids will not be a problem. After a couple boards, try another tip.
Once you feel confident it is time to try a production board. This will be different, solder mask, double sided, and plated through holes. The plated through holes will require a little more practice, But the solder mask will help prevent solder bridges. solder a part down, look at it, if there is a problem fix it, solder down another. And before you know it your board is done.
Just remember when you fix a soldering problem add a little flux to the solder, it helps flow the solder.
If possible, find someone with soldering history, and learn what you can.
For through hole work, at 650F to 700F 60/40 solder, I like to use a bent chisel tip, bent about 15 deg, and just wide enough to bridge 2 pins on a dip chip, but narrow enough to heat 1 at a time.
