Cool Repotting questions

Ok, I just finished repotting some seedlings, and as i was doing it, some questions popped into my head that I think I should have answered for future reference.

How tightly packed should the plant be? I bought some orchid mix, that appears to be mostly bark, with a few other things. it's really light though, and whenever i pot anything in it, I feel like the plant is unstable. Like the potting mix is so light, it doesn't really hold the plant in place as well as it should. Is that normal? I don't know if i'm just worrying too much or something. I was trying to pack the bark down a little bit, but I was worried that it could somehow hurt the roots, or something.

Also, after being repotted, should you fertilize it the first few times you water it?
