On reading your response - and used the links you suggested - I note that I could just leave everything as default and let STP sort itself out.
You could...but you really should dictate which switches are the root bridge and backup root bridge. Additionally, do not attempt to disable STP on any ports unless you really know what you're doing and can guarantee that nobody who doesn't will ever be able to plug anything into those ports. Bridge loops are a major PITA, and quickly overload things to the point that you may not be able to do anything to troubleshoot other than start physically unplugging things until you "make it stop".
