How do I do these board entry edits?

[pigpog]

Hi everyone.

I've been looking at this lovely design (http://www.aboxcafe.com/forums/index.php) and I was wondering if anyone knows how to do the following:

1. On his "Contests and Events" board he's got a block of sub forums underneath the main board link. Firstly, how do I do this and also how do I put a background around it as he's done here? Secondly, how did he get the bullet point squares in there too?

2. How do you set a different icon for each board? For example, next to each board link he has a little icon.

3. How do you add an image to a board entry? So on his "Welcoming Floor" board link he's got a drawing of two characters with a speech bubble. I was wondering generally how to add these images in this location.

Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction, and I hope the owner of the site doesn't mind me holding his work up and drooling all over it.
