I would say its not normal nor desirable. It is probably poorly written theme, if you post a link we should be able to give you code to modify it to align correctly.

Hello, a background image is generally attached to a div, and the text you want in front of the background are sub divs within that background. However without a better description its impossible to help. If you want more help, put up a background image sample, and specify where you want.

You edit the sidebars through the widgets tab. If you don’t modify the sidebar it often has a standard layout – you can remove this by putting an empty text widget in sidebar. But making the sidebar useful is really dependent on the layout and content of your website…

You can find all the referring sites pointing to you through yahoo site explorer, and find their contact info or post a comment on the offending posts.

I setup a buddypress site a while back, and this was not available at the time. However, I would go with buddypress, because the worst thing about setting up a social site is that its soo difficult to migrate off of it if you need to, and you don’t want to build on a platform that’s gonna be gone in 6 months or a year. A lot of plugins lose support because they require constant updating to work with wordpress.

There are a lot of online services which will autotweet from updates to your rss feed, you might want to consider trying one of those.

Most people use google analytics.

You’ll probably do fine if you use a full URL path.

If its hardcoded, you need to change it the hard way (editing theme), but most themes will allow widgets in the footer. Also, sometimes themes display a default navigation that changes once widgets are placed in it. So firstly look in your widget boxes to see if there is a footer box.

Could the post count be hardcoded into your index page template?

#access .menu-header, div.menu, #colophon, #branding, #main, #wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100%;
}

Thats the line you want to modify, everything is nested in #wrapper so even if you 100% footer it can only expand to max width of wrapper. I suggest you learn firebug for basic styling comprehension, and you can always visit a freelance site for high-quality support.

style.css should be found in your theme folder, each folder has its own style.css. Try modifying the style.css which is in your theme’s folder and you should see immediate changes.

I was really impressed with the design. Most WordPress sites look exactly the same after a while, but yours is a lot different. Perhaps all the black makes it a little uncomfortable to the eyes, but your site’s pretty cool. If you made your theme available I’m sure a lot of people would use it.
