I only got one in Whiterun (fully upgraded)...but that's because I'm trying to horde cash for the 100K achievement Once I hit it, I'll buy houses all over da map!

I couldn't fit my clothes into my dresser at home and I thought that perhaps I should drop some, or see what the Riverwood Trader would give me for them

lol, that's bad. I have had Skyrim dreams where I knew there were enemies approaching because I saw red dots on the top of "my screen" (it made sense in the dream)...I've fast traveled places and healed myself, etc...and I play about twice a week.

Otherwise, to learn the rest, you need to find Word Walls to learn the shouts, and use the Dragon Souls to be able to unlock them for use.

What I mean is I have the first word (at least I assume it's the first) for "Aura Whisper." I killed a dragon and absorbed its soul. I still can't use Aura Whisper.

You have to physically go into the shout menu and unlock it using a soul. On 360, I think you go over a gray'd out shout and press X to apply a soul to a new word, allowing you to use it.

If you have an active shout with a newly obtained word, the shout won't be grayed out, but the word will be. Same thing, press X to apply soul and unlock upgrade.

Maybe option to unlock shouts doesn't open until you visit Greybeards? That I cannot speak to...

It can be done before Greybeards, on the PC you hit R to unlock (this was also not obvious to me).

Oh! It makes perfect sense that I would have to apply dragon's souls and they wouldn't unlock automatically. This had not occurred to me. Thanks!

So does your smithing skill enhance the item stats when you first create it, or is it really just applied to upgrading your items?

Also, do the Greybeards help you find all the shouts? I finished a quest for them and one of them gave me a misc quest to find a shout. Just wondering if you can keep getting these quests or if it's more of a one time deal.

This game is sweet.

Smithing skill is only when enhancing. Also, you pretty much need perks. I took the light armor path to Dragon Armor (not sure if it was quicker), but then I found a Dwarven bow. Because I don't have Dwarven Smithing, I need a Smithing skill of 168 (is what I think I read) to make it legendary. However, I can make my glass bow legendary, because I have glass smithing.
