I have recently got a Geo Metro, I have been trying to figure out why the car shakes so much and when I start the car, I need to tap gas or it goes idle.

Changed:
02 Censor
Oil+Oil Filter
Air Filter
Fuel Filter
Spark plug Wires
Spark Plugs
O-Ring

When I changed the spark plugs they had oil on them. Is that normal or an issue? Thanks for the help in my introduction forum.

Also, I don't see "changed out the vacuum lines" on your list. :hmm
I bet you have a vacuum leak. ^o)
About 15 min. and $10 in vacuum line to change out.
Change them out regardless of what they look like, unless YOU just changed them. :thumb

Is there a Post on how to change them? I have no clue where the vacuum lines are located.

Got 70 MPG?

They're the little black rubber hoses on the the intake manifold (well, most of them anyway). Pull one off at a time and cut a length of new rubber hose (or silicone if you like) of the same length and put that hose back in it's place. Move on to the next one and repeat until all of the old hoses have been replaced.
