I was not able to open port, may be that's because of my ISP, I see on HelloZeroNet page that,

Your port xxxxx is closed, but your Tor gateway is running well.

I see the above message, so if I had a site on ZeroNet, am I considered as a seeder to my site, if I was the only seeder to my site, assuming it is a new site. is it enough that tor gateway is running but without open port ?

In tor always mode the port is always closed so there's nothing to worry about. In tor available mode you'll be able to connect to everyone but only tor users will be able to connect to you. As long as you have many peers, this is not a problem. If you're one of the only seeders, users without tor will have problems downloading the site.

I've answered a bit more questions than asked, but I hope it's helpful for others too.

I hope these elaborations need to be added to FAQ.
