Well I normally buy new moss at shows or at a local orchid greenhouse. You can probably order it online with little shipping costs because it weighs almost nothing. You do nothing to prep it; I just usually fill the pot I am going to use with dry moss. Then I take it over to the tap and drench it completely with warm water. You then squeeze out most of the exess water with your hands.

The key is to keep the plants in the smallest pots possible, so that they dry out quickly. I like to think that you water every five days, or less, and if it takes any longer it is too wet for the roots.
