Was looking at the Iron Golem (http://www.minecraft...iki/Iron_golems) and saw I need a minimum of 21 houses. Is there a criteria on the design of these houses we build. Example, should I just replicate the 5x5x5 houses that are in the game?
Make sure that you have an actual house. If the doors have the same amount of light on both sides, it's OT a house
Just as an addendum: I believe the doors require to have an "outside." Placing dozens of interior doors inside an existing building won't help, but putting outward facing doors will.
Also, does anyone know if you can "expand" a town? If you build outside the boundries of the generated village, will the doors in those buildings count? And how far away can you go?

it is actually based upon where the center of town is currently, not usually the well... Rather it is based on the doors leading inside to housing. That is it is a certain number of blocks from any house they consider a house. So expanding a village is not really all that difficult as it would seem. I would have to guess maybe 20-40 blocks to be within from the nearest House.(The door to the house that is.) I don't know the exact specifics on the range, but what I do know is it being very simple to expand the villages, if you keep in mind how to make a house count to being a house considered by the villagers.
