In reply to: 5 Loops Based On Category & TagsThe paged query var will tell you want page you are on–
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;Related:

In reply to: Too many posts showing….Just downloaded and installed http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/karappo-style and in Settings->Reading set Blog pages show at most to 1 and it worked just fine.
Maybe a plugin causing the problem or that theme has been customized.

In reply to: Preinstallation questionsAm I correct in assuming we’ll need to have the computer hosting WordPress running 24/7, ideally on a server?
As with any internet site, that would be true.
If you move your domain from one server to another you you will want to review Moving WordPress.
Also become conversant with WordPress Backups.

In reply to: Restoring posts and comments through FTP??Posts and comments are just two of the things that are kept in your database. Meaning, the files you download/upload with FTP are either program files (WordPress Core), plugins, themes, and uploades (e.g. Media such as pictures).
Would need to use something like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/

In reply to: Creating multiple sections in one siteYou might want to consider using Pages and Page Templates for that.
One issue is the news stuff. I’d recommend using categories such as Retirement News and Medical News then use a plugin (or custom query loop) to gather specific categories posts onto a page.

In reply to: Can I install WP without deleting old database?It’s not clear exactly what you want to accomplish, but you can use the same database but use a different
$table_prefixin your wp-config.php. That way WordPress will install a complete set of tables with that new prefix.You should also backup your database and files before doing anything else. See WordPress Backups
