    for templates, you really have to look around for the one that fits your site. or go custom.

    I use the All-in-one SEO Pack Plugin and it does great

    Also they have a built in spam engine that gets the job done well, akismet

    I suggest using the K2 template to start with.
    http://getk2.com/

    I only edit my css file and don't worry when upgrades comes.
    Then grab 2 plugins to help ease backups and upgrades :
    WordPress Automatic Upgrade
    WordPress Database Backup

    and a simple contact form is always useful

    Enjoy!

    *edit to add

    to stop spam use the Akismet plugin that comes with every install of WP (i think it does)
    then sign up for a WP account to get the WordPress.com API Key that is needed to active this spam stopper plugin.
    I use the same AP Key on all my blogs using Akismet and it even gives a stats page on the WP dashboard.

    Cool, I had some guy installed WP a year ago or so.

    Yeah, that is what I use for every basic install.
    I use the cpanel side to install WP then upload and active those plugins

    Also one last must have for WP is the dropdown menu.
    You can get to any page from any page in the backend with one click with this cool menu plugin

    HERE

    Glad it helps.
    Hope it helps....

    It looks like 2.7 has the auto updater incorporated already. Will be upgrading all mine tonight.

    Have one blog I set it to auto update!
    How do I know if the update is done automatically or not?

    Is there an easy way to delete all the spam comments?
    like if I have 12000 in one and about 6000 or 8000 in another.
    Going to DB is an option! - Is there a way from admin itself?

    you can run a sql command in the database. The table and field name I would check as I am going off the top of my head and not actually looking at the fields.

    to delete all comments
    delete * from wp_comments where id>0

    or from a particular ip address
    delete * from wp_comments where ip=1.1.1.1


    Also, I set the permissions for no one to comment on posts on the sites that run themselves to prevent the spam.

    To see if it updated you would just go in your admin panel and see if your version is 2.7 instead of 2.6.x

    The update you need to due manually through the plugin.
    It should be right there at the top once you have logged in.
    Just follow the steps as it upgrades.

    The backup plugin will do auto backups of the db and send it to the email you chose when setting up the plugin.

    Allow comments all comments but by setting all comments with 1 link to be approved.

    for spam - as posted above:
    to stop spam use the Akismet plugin that comes with every install of WP (i think it does)
    then sign up for a WP account to get the WordPress.com API Key that is needed to active this spam stopper plugin.
    I use the same AP Key on all my blogs using Akismet and it even gives a stats page on the WP dashboard.
    To dump all spam goto the comments waiting approval. You can click select all and delete or sort through them.
