I would add only one thing to Nick's suggestion of 1)CSS 2)PHP 3)JS (and
solely based on the fact that I was asking the same question 1.5 years ago):

1) VALID HTML
2) CSS
3) PHP
4) JS

I don't say this (num.1) because there's anything wrong with your HTML, as
frankly I have not looked at your code! Rather, I say it because I recall as
I started to learn PHP then CSS and JS, I did a lot of stuff wrong, then had
to go back and redo so much just to get everything else to work, if you know
what I mean(?). I still have TONS of stuff that's not valid and/or
cross-browser compatible and is now giving me headaches. I wish I had fixed
it all BEFORE I built all of the CSS/JS and PHP around the mess.

Anyway, it's just easier to get that one out of the way first.

And BTW, maybe you could throw some XML in there!?

Good luck!
