I make a loop and keep the working thread in back so when I yarn over and bring the thread through the loop it creates my first chain. I pull this first chain snug and dont count it a stitch unless I'm working in the round.
O use a magic circle on hats and amis etc..

standing stiches
Those that don't know what standing stitches are. look at the tutorials they have on hooked on crochet. It shows you how to do standing stitches. You can also start crocheting with a foundation row, that is also in a tutorial. I have yet to try that but it looks like it would work nicely.

I have always used a Slip Knot. When you do your edging it covers the slip knot. I've never seen any other way to start your crochet, except for a magic circle.
