Default RE: High wind technique

Thanks for the threads and tips, but I am new and I have trouble using the rudder after take off.
Is adding a little power always good on high winds or crosswinds? I find that it helps in the sim.
Also, for those that are still rudder-challenged, is taking a parallel patern on landing a good idea?
By parallel, I mean flying a landing patern closer to the wind, so eventually you will end up on the runway.

Thanks,
