jimmyharrell,
you're not alone. Many of us have the same conflicts. That's what made me create the "too many idea too little time" thraed and write my frustrations.
There is so much i wanted to do. Build a large web presence. But if you're am individual running on small budget or no budget with little to no time, it will take time. You will go through every road block possible.
It's like a cycle i think. First you start off with too many things in your head. You wanna do this..you wanna do that. But really, its impossible. Its good to have a focus but now you will start narrowing your focus which means you're making improvement and getting ahead.

I love everything Adobe. They have great products. Now I'd like a successful blog and Forum for Developers. Primarily Adobe Coldfusion,Flash,Photoshop,Fireworks,AIR, and Flex Developers.

This is a good start. Narrow your focus on something you know a lot about and passionate about.
2 months ago when i came to this forum i was lost. Previously, i had made a clone web application like digg.com which is number 100 site in the net thinking that my site will be successful like the people who built digg.com. But i was so wrong. Making web presence on internet isn't as easy. I would say it's the most difficult part.
Now, i'm focusing my attention on building a content rich site. But i didn't just pick some random theme for my website. I picked a theme which I know of. I'm PHP Web Developer and have learned a lot about web application development and PHP though my own projects and work. So i thought it makes sense to build a content site focused around PHP and web development.
You mentioned you have knowledge in Adobe products. That's great because Adobe has so many products which almost everyone uses everyday. I use adobe reader a lot. I'm alway looking for converting pdf documents to word or vise versa.
You can built your website around these products offering tips, tricks, guides and tutorials on how to use these products.
And slowing see your site built up and gain traffic.
I must warn you that before you jump into building your tutorial site, thinking about how want your site to look like say 2 years from now when it is popular. This will give you an idea of where to start
Hope this helps. Good luck with your stuff.
