Nivo Slider is an awesome JQuery image slider. You can use it standalone, or better, as a WordPress plugin (also available for other platforms, check the link below)
Configuring your WordPress permalinks is simple and only takes a second, but understanding what they are and how they work is key to setting up the best permalink structure possible. Your site’s permalinks are like the street address for your site’s web pages. They help both people and robots understand your site’s structure and navigate its contents. There is no “one magic permalink recipe to rule them all,” but keeping a few tips in mind makes it easy to optimize your WordPress permalinks. This DiW article shows you how..

A common problem. You wanna add a link in your topbar menu but is not possible. Permalinks are not editable in full, pages are added automatically to the topbar menu, and so on. Ok, the neat solution is the Page Links to plugin. It simply adds a new option in the Pages editor with a form input field for adding any external link you wanna use instead a post or page.
Install the plugin (you have two options, go direct to the plugin author page, or search for it inside WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add new > Search) and all is one. The next time you edit a page or Post you will have a field with the link option.

If you like to build sites from scratch, WordPress ones or anything, and you master Photoshop application, there is a nice tutorial explaining step by step how to use the Adobe great tool to make your complete layout “theme” and then build the HTML code as well.
I think this approach is ok too for WordPress themes generation, so, here you have the link. And, in the eventual case this link is broken, here you have a copy of this tutorial in PDF format, directly from here.

In WordPress, I would like to use one widget to put it on one sidebar, but not to be displayed in every webpage but in a specific template page. And also, to be editable! Thanks in advance

ONLY if your site is hosted on your own webhost! i.e your using the wordpress.org download and your sites at www.yoursite.com, NOT hosting on wordpress.com (i.e. yoursite.wordpress.com).
If so, Yes you can but you need to feel a little comfortable editing PHP or you’ll need to download the widget logic plugin: (Recommended)
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/
Each widget is different, but you’ll need to go to that specific active widget, edit the code to show the instance you want. or use the the plugin which will give you the optin to change where your widgets are displayed. Here are your choices:
Display only on the home page: is_home()
Display only on individual posts: is_single()
Display only on pages: is_page()
Display on archive pages (category, tag, etc.): is_archive()
Display on search results pages: is_search()
Display on all pages except the home page: !is_home()
Display on “this” or “that” page: is_page(‘this’) || is_page(‘that’)

since you are using wordpress, you can add one of the SEO plugins to your blog and then complete each section, like the title, keywords, title description on SEO plugin (I think it is called All in One SEO plugin) then you can post your articles. I have a new blog on http://www.createyouronlinebiz.com and you can email me if you have any questions.
Yeah. All-in-SEO is one of the best SEO plugins for WordPress around. We use it in this site too. Make attention to all options and sections, fill in the right fields and that’s all. Check your progress with a tool like IBP Optimizer or SEOPress (a devoted WordPress plugin for SEO too).
I have free wp blog and i have like a theme witch it’s not included in the 70 wp free themes that you can easily pick from the admen, can i put that theme on my free blog and how ?
Best reply by Mac Lover:
1st: Download the theme to your desktop, remember the location, extract it to a folder
2nd: Use your FTP software, such as core ftp and upload the theme to
wp-content/themes
3rd: Go to wordpress dashboard, u must login first and go to appearance/themes and activate your themes. Then you are good to go…
You must know how to upload things though. Hope that helps
Latest WordPress versions (from 2.9 and up) have the ability of installing new themes from the Dashboard, uploading a zip file. No FTP needed, so if you have a current WordPress version, the process is simply. Download the theme (usually a zip file), save it in a local folder in your computer, enter the admin area of your blog and use the Install theme option. Activate it and that’s all.
If you cannot upload a new theme in WordPress.com, use your own hosting. Some hosting companies offers very affordable plans nowadays.
