Something else that link didn't mention. In a case like this, you want to be paying as little attention as possible to the new kitten for awhile, even if it's the cutest little bastard on the planet.
New kittens are adaptable. If they don't get enough attention from you, they will go try to pal up with your other cat. The same is not true in reverse - your cat has gotten used to a nice predictable home routine, and the more attention this little crap gets that she does not, the more intruded upon she'll feel, and the more hostile she'll be towards the kitten.
Paying most of your attention to the older cat will reassure it that its place is safe, and the newcomer isn't a threat. Once they start getting along, it'll be clear to play and snuggle with the kitten more.
