nobody mentioned, that having read everything, and learned from everything you read. Make your site original. What I mean to say is, when you have decided what type of site you need, look at your competition and ask yourself how can I do this better.
it is after all the people that will use your site that are far more important than the search engines in the long run. I use webproworld four or five times a week, the address was emailed to me, and I have never made a search on any engine for 'webmaster forums', (I never thought I needed one) It is this site that brings me here (Its usefull). . not google,
