Hi Matt,
You've got a pretty good picture of the overall task at hand.
I suggest you start looking at your task in little bits.
Look for code samples that already exist on the net (google is your friend).
We'll help you put it all together in the end.
First look for some create user code as there's no sense posting it here,
there's tons of sample code out there.
HTH
