My first question concerns uploading a customized template for Wordpress. Can you direct me to some "thorough" instructions/help? I am new to blogging and looking to make the most of it. Thanks!

I never intended to spark such a heated debate about the links in my themes. I've seen some other, even well-known, theme authors with <em>more</em> links in their templates than I. Nothing evil about that (of course, that's just my opinion). The license terms are up to the theme author, and <em>theme users</em> should respect that; that's pretty much all there is to it. A number of my themes actually have one link pointing to the theme's page and a link point to <em>my</em> homepage - not all themes have an "advertising link". But, for anyone wishing to remove the links in a theme, they're welcome to contact me in order to work something out, use a different theme, or build their own theme (I've actually just released a new theme called <a href="http://www.wordpressdiva.com/themes/47/ultimate-diva-sandbox.html" rel="nofollow">Ultimate Diva Sandbox</a> for this very purpose).

But anyone who does not want the links can of course remove them. I appreciate when users choose to leave the link since it gives something back to me. But I would never force anyone to keep links if they don't want it, that is a bit rude... I use both an attribution link and a sponsored link in my themes.

I would never put an advertisement on my theme. Only a credit line, as I have. But, then it is upto the author and the user. Well, if it is advertisement, then I wouldn’t agree with that.

The license of the theme states that the link must remain in place, forcing you to have that link on your site if you use that theme. That's evil. It's the theme author's choice, but it's still evil.
