dealer has the button and posts the sb, and acts first preflop. other player posts the bb, and acts first after the flop.
To me it makes more sense for the non-dealer to post the sb because he's the first person left of the dealer (who usually posts the sb) and then the next person to the left (in this case the dealer) would post the bb...
from what i understand, the dealer is the big blind and the other person (small blind) is first to act before the flop. just take turns dealing.
i believe dealer is BB always
that is how we play and how it is in every tourney i've played online does it
dealer means you act last in every round of betting except for first round
but when you are dealer / bb then you do act last every round

3. In heads-up play with two blinds, the small blind is on the button.
Heads up dealer is always SB in Vegas, might be different elsewhere.

We always play with dealer as SB. This way, the dealer acts first pre-flop, and then retains the typical "dealer bonus" of acting last in every subsequent round. I mean, the main benefit of being on the button is that you get to bet after everyone else once the flop's come down. The only fair way to do this is to have the dealer be SB...wouldn't be cool to have the dealer bet last before AND after the flop.
In heads-up play, the small blind is the button and acts first before the flop and last after the flop. The player who does not have the button will be dealt the first card.
Every poker game I have ever seen, this is the case. As has been stated previously, this is to keep the same person from have position before and after the flop. Watch WSOP or WPT sometime, the button is always the SB.

The player left of the dealer (button) is the small blind. Why would it change when there are only 2 left?
The BB is always out of position postflop. If you kept the same setup, in heads-up, the BB would be in position preflop and postflop, which would be extremely unfair, and would kill any action. Thus, the SB has the button, and position postflop.
I think you got this wrong. The SB acts first which makes that spot out of position. The button is always in position. Therefore the button and BB go together. The BB is NOT out of position. Where did you get that from? If the button had the small blind it would have to act against the big in order to stay in.
It changes in heads-up. The same player does not have position both preflop and postflop. If the BB was the button, this would be the case. Therefore, in heads up, the BB is always out of position postflop, with the SB on the button. That's the way it is, and if you don't believe me, check the links posted in this thread, or watch some WSOP or WPT sometime.
