Re: Promote your own website
Read the instructions, it's dead easy. 
Just make sure that you have a MySQL database created for the forum (you will need to write down the details for the install script).

Re: Promote your own website
It is indeed easy.
You just need to upload the files, CHMOD a couple of files & dir's, create a MySQL database and you are away.
IBS include an install php script which walks you through everything.

Re: Promote your own website
No, you need web hosting with PHP (v4+) and MySQL.

Re: Promote your own website
www.mysql.com
www.php.net
I'd also recommend you get the MySQL control centre to aid you with administration...
Enjoy - There are also packages that contain all the relevant applications MySQL, PHP, APACHE etc. (do a search on this site)

If you rent some webspace you usually get PHP & mySQL. Free webspace that comes with ISP accounts usually doesn't have these. Suitable webspace is inexpensive these days, starting from around £15 - £25 a year (depending on vendor) for a small amount of bandwidth and if you don't want your own domain.
You can install a webserver, PHP, mySQL & bulletin board on your home computer, but of course others could only use it when your computers connected to the internet. It's worth doing this anyway, if you intend to rent some PHP enabled webspace as it allows you to try stuff out without spending any money. Try to find a install version that installs a webserver (e.g. Apache), PHP and mySQL all at once, as this will save you having to do some manual configuration.

I'd seriously consider resizing that logo, picking different colours, choosing a better font that Times New Roman and setting different colours for your hyperlinks. You also managed to lay out your content-type and DTD tags in exactly the same order as Dreamweaver does them .. spooky
