The best thing to do is to check your car's manufacturer recommendations. Some tell you to simply turn the tires side to side and others will tell you to use a special "bleeding" routine and maybe a vaccum pump to remove additional air. It depends on your car.

Also, use ONLY PS fluid recommended by your car manufacturer. If you use the cheap stuff out of the auto parts store, you might end up causing your hoses to fail early OR your pump or your rack and pinion.

Where do you bleed the power steering fluid?

You don't bleed power steering fluid. Raise the front of the car, start the engine, turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock 3 times to get the air out of the system. Make sure to use axle stands and block the wheels so you can do this safely.

Ensure power steering fluid is to full mark. Start engine. Turn wheels slowly all the way the right until they hit the stop and hold for a minute, then slowly turn all the way to the left and hold for about a minute. You may need to repeat a couple of times. This should bleed the air from the system. I don't know of any vehicle which has a bleeder valve for the power steering reservoir or power steering system.
