bhavaṁ bhavānīsahitaṁ namāmi ||

Arti kata per kata:

-What is the proper way for sthapana or pran-pratishtha ?
A: Follow the standard procedure. You may find it in Gita-Press published "Nitya Karma" book. The key to remember is, you are invoking the deity who is inside your Hr-daya (Heart, not physical heart) into the Linga or Idol. If, you are using Naturally available i.e. Udbhava Linga, then Prana-Pratishtana is not necessary as Shiva is already present in it.
-How to worship shiv linga everyday at home
?
A: The standard procedure for any worship is same. Start with achamana, pranayama, sankalpa, prana-pratishtapana, avahana, dhyana, pancha-upachara (5 upachara) puja, abhisheka, naivaidya and visarjana.
The puja can be elaborated or shortened based on time availability. The 5 upacharas are- gandha, pushpa, dhoopa, deepa and naivaidya.
If you do not have Shiva-Linga, you can mentally worship Shiva Puja. Refer to Shiva Manasa Puja written by Adi Shankaracharya.
The key to remember is "Devotion" and "Surrendering". The rules, procedure etc. have their value, but devotion is most important key. Treat the God as a guest who has come and hence, do his seva with love and respect. Treat God as mother or father or spouse or master and serve him and love him in that way.
-What are the do's and dont's ?
A: It is preferable to have bath, freshen up and perform the Puja everyday at same time and place. Preferably face the direction of east or north. But, all these are preferable conventions. If someday you cannot perform at the normal time, instead of skipping its better to perform at other time. Also preferably do puja in empty stomach if possible.
-How to do 'abhishek',How frequently to do abhishek?
A: You can do abhishek with water, milk, curd etc. You can do abhishek by chanting the Shiva mantra or the chamakam.
- Things which are liked and disliked by shiva (Kind of fruits,leaves tika to be used)
A: Bilva leaves are specially dear to Lord Shiva. But, Lord Krishna in Gita (9.26) says, God accepts whatever that is offered with devotion be it leaves, flowers, fruits or just water.

How to worship lord shiva at home
1. Do a regular prayer to shiva lingam at home during the early morning and also evenings everyday.
2. Wash the shiv linga and apply vibhuti or bhasm.
3. Light a deepa, Incense sticks, also known as agarbathi can be light besides.
4. Recite “namah shiva” few times.
5. On Mondays especially offer milk or any sweet made with milk to the lord.

http://www.mindcontroversy.com/how-to-worship-lord-shiva/

The first and foremost thing that one needs to be kept in mind before performing any puja is that the devotee should take a bath
Never put tulsi (basil) leaves on the shivling . Always offer only Bael leaves
When offering milk to the shivling make sure that you never use pasteurized or packet milk and make sure you always use ice cold milk
Never offer coconut water as an offering to the shivling, although you can offer coconuts
Although many fruits can be offered but the most common fruit that is offered to the shivling on all major festivals is Bael (wood apple) as it signifies longevity
The shivling should be first offered Panchamrit, which is a mixture of milk, ganga jal, saffron, sugar/honey and water
It is believed that the shivling and the idol of Lord Shiva should only be offered white flowers because Lord Shiva is said to be especially fond of flowers that are white in colour.
Never offer kewda and champa flowers as they are said to be cursed by Lord Shiva
The devotees can put a tilak of sandalwood paste on the shivling.
Never use a kumkum tilak for the shivling, although the devotees can use it for the idols of goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesha
It is believed that the devotees should never consume whatever they have offered to the shivling as it brings bad omen, leads to loss of good luck and money and can also cause illness.
The abhishek should always be done in a naag yoni stand which is made up of gold, silver or brass
Never use a steel stand for the abhishek
Always remember if you keep a shivling at home it should be accompanied by a jaldhara. If the shivling is worshipped without the jaldhara it attracts negative energies.
There are many other beliefs that are suggested by various experts and religious figures but these are the main things that should be kept in mind while worshipping the shivling.
Om Namah Shaivaya!!!

Parvati: It is my great privilege that, because of my actions in my previous births, you have become my husband and I am your wife.
Shiva: I will always protect you with my Love. You remain without concern. I will remain with you both in pleasure and in pain.
Parvati: In circumstances of pain, I will maintain patience, and in pleasure I will express my delight.
In both pleasure and in pain I will always be with you. I will protect and nourish our children, my husband, and our family.
Shiva: I will provide all the necessities for life for our family, including food, clothing, and shelter, whatever is needed. I will seek your agreement in all matters of our household life.
Parvati: I will remain contented in any standard you choose to maintain us, and I will always respect and obey your every order. I will always prepare food for you and our family, and assure that you are always satisfied with food.
Shiva: I will always enjoy whatever you give me to eat, and I will never have desires from any other woman. I will not make any other woman my source of nourishment.
Parvati: I will always adorn myself appropriately, and I will act appropriately in every circumstance. I will dedicate my mind, body, and soul to your satisfaction.
Shiva: Without you I will not perform any actions of Dharma, Yajna, or Puja, or even pursue material gain. You will always be present as the motivation for my every action.
Parvati: In Puja, Yajna, and all acts of dharma, I will always be present to help you. In all acts of dharma, artha, and kama I will always be present to assist you according to the dictates of your mind. Without you I will not contemplate anyone else’s puja, yajna, or acts of dharma.
Shiva: I will always dedicate my mind and renunciation of all selfishness to your greatest delight.
Parvati: Wherever you stay, there I also will stay; wherever you dwell, I also will be by your side. I will never become tired from my beloved or from our love.
Shiva: I will never question your authority to be by my side. I will never leave you or renounce your love. I live with the hope that you will be my source of comfort eternally.
Parvati: All present here are witness that you are my husband and my Lord, and I have offered myself to you completely and eternally.
Shiva: I will always give you my respect. Your desires will be the most important goals of my life. I will never consider that you are inferior to me. You will always be with me as my partner, as I with you.
Lord Vishnu: Defining these as the goals of divine marriage, I pronounce this marriage as consummated.
