Your description of what you think you did is so confused this may or may not help, but at least I tried !

1. Signed up for dyndns account, got nameservers, and went into my domain name steveshowto.com and added those nameservers.
Not really sure what you mean by this
Do you actually own steveshowto.com ? If so you dont need a DYNDNS account, who ever you bought it from should be able to direct that name to your routers WAN ip address, either by asking them or using their front end to do it yourself.
This method will only work if your ISP gives you a static IP address.
If you get a new ip address for your router when you reboot this will of course not work as you will have to manually change the ip after each reboot. In this case you will need the DYNDNS account, but you will not be able to use steveshowto.com as the domain name!
They normally issue odd domainnames like steveshowto.dyndns.org, there are a number of options for the dyndns.org part of the domainname but this gives yo an idea.

2. When I do a lookup on this domain name or dns check, the nameservers show and the ip address for my home internet, so I know the dyndns is working and my domain is pointed to my home server address - 192.168.0.125.
I have to assume you dont mean what you said here! 192.168.0.125 cannot be addressed from the internet its a special local ip range for internal networks only.
When I ping stevehowto.com I do actually see a real internet ip address though like 92.242.132.16
So I have to assume that is you, IS THAT RIGHT?

3. Port forwarded the port 8080 on my dlink router to point to my wamp server address with both - 192.168.0.125.
It is unusual as far as I am aware for any service to forward a domain name to any other port than [80] as this is the default port for web servers.
So what you will have to do is Port Forward incoming port 80 to port 80 on the ip adddess of the PC running WAMPServer(Apache) and make APache listen on 80 again as it should be.
How to Configure SKYPE so it does not require port 80 or 443Run SKYPE
then using the menus do this:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection
Un-Check the checkbox next to 'Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incomming connections'
Now restart SKYPE for these changes to take effect.
If you are running Windows 8/8.1 SKYPE comes as an app and this cannot ( as yet ) be configured in this way.
However if you uninstall the SKYPE app and install SKYPE in the old way, you can reconfigure it, and it works just as well.
Once you have all thsi setup you will then be best advised to create an Apache VIRTUAL HOST for your site. This way when someone attempts to connect using a domain name Apache knows which site to server
