Can you refer step by step study material for creating wordpress blog

I am a newbie to Wordpress and have set up a hosted blog with wordpress but the default theme is not what i am looking for. I am looking for a theme that is SEO optimised and then also have the ability to have rss feed, add email subscriber and option of users to retweet/facebook like.

Can you suggest a theme/template that will have these features builtin and also looking for a good source where i can read and learn about setting up my blog effectively like changing the appearance, using plugins and widgets.

You response is highly appreciated

Hi there, and welcome to this site. I'm sorry to be a little bit pushy here, but IMHO this question is best answered on http://Superuser.com . As I read it, it's about "how do I use and customize Wordpress" in general. – Jesper Mortensen 14 years ago
Jesper, I would actually recommend the question go to http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/ – Jim Galley 14 years ago

You should checkout http://wordpress.stackexchange.com - a site like answers.onstartups.com, but focused on WordPress.

As for themes, I use the following 3 sites and love them all:
http://www.elegantthemes.com http://www.themeforest.com (sort by WordPress)
http://www.woothemes.com Hope that helps!

I also use WooThemes extensively and recommend them. Another very popular theme that has strong SEO performance is Thesis.
