    I do not recommend installing useless security plugins. They just slown your site down. Nobody cares about hacking your site.

    Search in the google something like this, "wordpress tutorials theme" i hope you will find a good theme absolutely free, which will be good looking, with user friendly navigation, then install a few plugins like all in one seo to make your site seo friendly... I dont think you need too many widgets or plugins to be installed in your wordpress site...

    I would go for any "news-magazine" wp theme.If you want your theme to be able to support all devices and browsers then search for "responsive" themes.

    first you need to find a free/premium theme which is close to your theme requirement.
    as far Security is concerned a good host will take care of it.
    plus some 2-3 security plugins will do the job.

    First of all you need a "Responsive Theme" which can support all devices and browsers mobile, tablet, pc../Chrome, Mozilla etc...

    If you planning for a site which shares tutorials through articles only you can search (google) and go for any good responsive theme. If its something different you must be requiring custom wordpress development.

    Nobody cares about any blogs unless they are really popular. Besides, WP is very secured itself (without buggy/backdoor "security" plugins installed by BFU).

    I do not agree. On wordpress.com there are lots of blogs running WP (obviously) and I do not know about any case of a hacked blog. That's because they do not allow installing plugins that are not maintained by WP staff, so users are protected from bad/lazy programmers who (unintentionally) open the door for hackers. :p
