html and css

Once you get better at it you will be able to memorize mostly everything. Lots and lots of practice.

Those sites worked out great. I got my board up today but still have a lot of changes to make.

Nice going

1. Change the Admin Control Panel Directory
2. Remove Version Numbers Completely from Public's Eyes
3. Check and Update to the Latest MyBB Version
4. Setup .htaccess For Added Admin Control Panel Protection
5. Backup Regularly
6. Replace Copyright Text with an Image Version
7. Change Database Prefix
8. Disable Debug View
9. Add Stringent Registration and Login Parameters
10. Sign up to the MyBB Mailing List

And I couldn't find some of the other ones I do.

Is there a guide to do this? Or could you point me in the direction I need to be looking at for these things? Is there a checklist or anything I should view?

You'll find to tutorials for most, if not all, of those things in the User Submitted Tutorials forum - http://community.mybb.com/forum-38.html

If you still want to make pages that aren't MyBB there's a cheat I always use.

1. Get and install the Page Manager Plugin. This will allow you to use your forum theme on all pages!
   
2. Make the pages in Page Manager. Make sure you select Use theme or whatever the option is. If you want to use HTML and CSS on your custom pages you could make the content in tables using dreamweaver and copy the code from dreamweaver (between the body tags).
   
3. Browse to the custom page and open the page source.
   
4. Copy the page source and paste it somewhere that you can save it as an HTML file. You can use Notepad but make sure "All file types" is selected so you don't save it as filename.html.txt.
   
5. Upload to the server!
   

Good luck with whatever you do!
