Some things come to mind...

*Pick a half-elf for the pick pockets bonus.
*Try to get 18 in dexterity and 16 in constitution to give yourslef as low AC as possible and get the most Hp when leveling up. You don't need more than 16 Con. for non-warrior classes.
*Either buy a best armor your Bard can wear and use it until you've leveled up a couple of times or pick and use the Armor spell ( or was it Shield? ) from the beginning.
*Use a ranged weapon.
*Be on the lookout for items that will benefit your Bard, there are several in the game.
*Also remember that you can cast up to lv. 6 spells, there's plenty there that are very useful.
*There's a chainmail in the game that allows you to cast spells while wearing it so be on the lookout.

Edit: Remember that the Bard doesn't get really good until you've installed HoW. The expansion gives you access to different Bard songs and at least one of them is very useful.
