A bunch of questions..

I will have a friend assist me tomorrow and do exactly what you suggested. And you are right, it's not rocket science. However, ever time I mention something about what I have learned when it comes to cycling I have someone else tell me something differently, so it's hard to take advice if I am not sure whether or not it is correct -- though your advice seems sounds and logical unlike the advice some local riders and local bike shops give..
Once you have that worked out you could look at getting cages or Powergrips to help hold you on platform pedals. I don't think the straps are necessary.
