How to Do Everything!
Wordpress, out of the box, is horrible in terms of SEO. There are all kinds of duplicate content issues, bad title structure, bad post name structure etc.
A few plugins and some modifications can quickly fix this SEO issue. A few I would recommend would include All In One Meta Tags, and Google Sitemap Generator.
In terms of altering postnames, under Presentation > Permalink Structure, set the link output option to custom, and enter /%postname%/. This will output your URL as the blog post title… a much better idea in terms of SEO. If you do this, be sure to install the Permalink Redirection plugin.
Hopefully this basic guide is helpful to the new bloggers out there.
To connect to the internet with a laptop and a cable modem, you either need a hardwire connection to the modem with an ethernet cable, or a wireless connection to a router. Generally in my experience, cable modems only have one outgoing ethernet jack, and this is where you must connect the laptop. However, this is inconvenient and defeats the purpose of a portable computer.
The solution is to buy a router which you connect to the cable modem. The router acts as an intermediary, and many will broadcast a wireless signal. If your laptop is wireless capable, you’re now golden and no longer need to directly connect into the cable modem. If your laptop is older, you can buy a USB or other wireless adapter that will allow you to connect wirelessly to your router.
