Theme as in Wordpress? If so I can maybe pitch in as a newb myself. I started with a premium theme. I had heard that free themes aren't necessarily bad, and premium themes can be total poo poo, so you really have to be careful. From what you describe you can easily do all that with just about any theme. Some themes are laid out to maximize CTR, like Clickbank and CTR theme. Some themes are clean and minimal, but have a high learning curve like Canvas or HTML 5 Boilerplate. In the end I just found a theme I liked and as I got better at PHP and HTML I just fixed the problems with it and stripped all the useless features out.

Can only speak for wordpress but it should be something like <?php the_excerpt ?> instead of <?php the_post ?>

Wordpress is incredibly customizable. There is nothing you can't do re: SEO with Wordpress. It can be annoying to implement some modifications of the core files with filters, but anything else is cake. Vim 4 life btw!

There kind of is, with the bbpress plugin. It's a bitch to struggle with to get it how you want it though, at least it was for me. I'd make a subdomain for the forum with a totally different wordpress install. If you set up a WPMU install, you can have global users log into both the main site and forum with the same login. You can also set up a subdomain for your forum and use plain old vbulletin.

But the text that it generates under the amazon image is compressed, like so. Try Firebug browser plugin and see where that particular widget is pulling its css from.

wordpress.com posted:If you are moving to a self-hosted blog using the WordPress.org software, you first need to obtain appropriate web hosting and have your WordPress.org blog/site up and running before transferring your content. Don't go crazy with hosting cost. Shared hosting works fine and you can always switch later if you get a lot of traffic.

quote:Is it a subject you are really passionate about? Is it a subject you feel you are knowledgeable about? It has got to be this. Nothing worse than getting to a site that slapped up generic poo poo just to get SEO rank. Sort of like Google ranked sites were a couple years ago. Those sites do not stay ranked long. It's got to be something you're almost spergy about or someone else will beat you to it. You don't need to be an expert but you need to be willing to learn a lot.

I've found free Wordpress themes are either bad or not very user friendly. I like HTML5 boilerplate themes and stuff like that, which are usually free. You can strip the bad out of any theme with enough work though so if you like a look don't let it stop you from using the theme. You just gotta work it harder. The best way to get photos is to pay for them. You can probably get away with Googled images until you actually get enough traffic to make money attract attention to that sort of thing. Just slap some Google Adsense ads on there. You can do 3 per page and it's real simple until you get a real strategy going.

Name.com works fine for me. I'm pretty low maintenance but it's real easy to update the name servers & set billing to autorenew. They only email you when your card gets declined really.
