1) I was also asked for the Akismet key but i ignored it. You can always download a plugin tha performs similar function lik Akismet.

2) Download "All in one SEO" plugin to make your permalinks seo friendly.

3) Just search for "free wordpress themes" on google and you will get loads of them.

Ok, just found this. You can get an Akismet key here akismet.com/signup/ but it's not free.

  Akismet key is free for personal use.
  
  For an alternative (better imho), use this: WP-SpamFree WordPress Spam Plugin - Powerful Anti-Spam Protection!
  
  How to set permalinks:
  WP Dashboard>Settings>Permalinks>Custom Structure
  Recommended is either /%postname%/ or /%category%/%postname%/
  
  Free themes: WordPress › Free WordPress Themes
  
  Free "seo friendly" themes: WordPress › Free WordPress Themes
