How to build an armature in Blender Stack Exchange?
When building your armature, make sure each bone (after the root bone) has the previous bone as its parent. In edit mode, click the little ball at the end of the bone and hit ‘e’ to extrude it. After building your armature make sure all the bones act like you want before the next step.
Why does my mesh not move with the bones parented to it?
I had a part of my mesh that was weighted to a particular bone, but when I moved the bone, the mesh didn’t move. After trying many of the steps listed above to no avail, I finally thought to glance at the bone’s properties. As it turns out, the deform property for that bone was disabled somehow.
What to do if rigging model won’t follow armature?
What you must do is parent against the rigify armature with Automatic Weights (or empty groups), and then do the weight painting process. Highly active question. Earn 10 reputation (not counting the association bonus) in order to answer this question.

How to make your arm bend in the wrong direction?
For “perfect” pole targets, make them from a copy of the thigh/upper arm bones, moved in “normal” (local bone space) orientation in X or Z, then your pole angle will be an even multiple of 90 degrees (depending on roll.) Or, you can edit the roll after the fact. For a pole angle of 90, select your pole target, snap cursor to selected.
Do you have to be connected to your bones to use IK?
Your bones’ local orientations don’t matter for deformation, and they don’t need to be connected to use IK. They can point anywhere you want. Note that if you make crazy long IK chains or use crazy angles, the use of IK angle limits can lead to snapping when interpolating between positions.
What happens when more than one bone moves in Blender?
When more than one bone moves, all the influenced vertices are moved following the overall weights attributed to all parented bones of the armature. This is a process usually known as “skinning”, you can learn how here: http://www.blender.org/manual/rigging/skinning/obdata.html
