Help Needed!

[Teh Wizzard]

Ok i have a couple questions and i need some opinions of you guys!

Im 13 and i learned how to use HTML parts of CSS , i use Dreamweaver 8.
I so badly want to make a gaming website where people can go for there gaming needs.I have bought a template that fits my website perfectly i am extremely happy with it.

These are my questions:

1.I want people to be able to register and log on , what do i need to do this and is too complicated for me to attempt?

2.What is php , is my first question related to this?

3.I also want a forum , do i have to resort to using SMFFORFREE? I noticed on websitepalace.com that when you purchase one of there hosting deals you get a free forums?What type of forums is this?

I am grateful for any help you guys can give me...

Thanks , Teh Wizzard

What do you want them to be able to do?

3.I also want a forum , do i have to resort to using SMFFORFREE? I noticed on websitepalace.com that when you purchase one of there hosting deals you get a free forums?What type of forums is this?

Do you have a hosting package? There is lots of forum software about like phpbb, vbulletin etc. All would meet your needs. Some are free, some aren't.

I am sure someone else can ellaborate on my answers. I just thought I would post to get started :)
