basics of making a roleplay forum

[fruity20]

i use to code back on the day but nowadays i kinda have forgotten about it. so, i just wanna know the basics of making a decent forum look nice. i know how to make banners and what not but don't know how to add sidebars or even shoutboxes. if you can link some pages on that, that would be cool.
