#One should say the Sefirat HaOmer standing. <Ref>S”A 489:1 based on the Rosh (Pesachim 10:41e) and Rambam (Temidin UMusafin 7:23) write that Sefirat HaOmer should be said standing. So rules S”A 489:1 that you need to stand. Rambam adds that, if one did say it while seated you’re also yotseh. So rules Mishna Brurah 489:6. Mishna Brurah adds that you should stand also for the Bracha. </ref>

# One may not count Sefirat HaOmer until Shekiyah (during Ben HaShemashot) and even then it’s preferable not to count until [[Tzet HaCochavim]]. <Ref>Tosfot (Menachot 66a), Rosh (Pesachim 10:40), Tur 489:1, and Ran (Pesachim 28a D”H VeBeHaggadah in name of most Mefarshim) rule that since Sefirah is Derabbanan one can count even during Ben HaShemashot. However, Rambam (Temidin UMusafin 7:22) who holds that Sefira is Deoritta, also holds that Sefirah must be said after nightfall. S”A 489:2 rules One may not count Sefirat HaOmer until Shekiyah (during Ben HaShemashot) and even then it’s preferable not to count until [[Tzet HaCochavim]]. Mishna Brurah 489:15 writes that Bedieved one fulfills one’s obligation if one counted during Ben HaShemashot and then quotes the Eliyah Rabba 489:10 who says that preferably one should count again after [[Tzet HaCochavim]] without a Bracha (because of the RIshonim who hold that Sefirah is Deoritta nowadays).  </ref>

However, Rambam (Temidin UMusafin 7:22) who holds that Sefira is Deoritta, also holds that Sefirah must be said after nightfall. Teshuvot HaRashba 1:154 rules like this as well.
