That sounds like a great idea man, let me try help

#1 search google for "webdesign tutorials"

#2 you will have to promote your forum by getting adverts, telling friends etc

#3 for a new forum I say phpbb3 is great!

#4 Umm Dreamweaver for HTML/PHP/CSS etc, Photoshop for logos

#5 what about aussiestudents.com ??

Theres lots of great information on thsi site too you should just look around a bit

well aussiestudents.com is already registered so i cant use that it would have to be aussieteens.org

Just use a free forum provider. Move once you are getting a good amount of hits.
