Going back to my "web" roots...

Last week, I bought me a "newby" web hosting package (Starter Plan, payable every 3 months) from Dreamcodehosting for 780 pethoth initial payment, this also includes a domain name (www.imonoid.com). I'm planning to do web development again in preparation for the "day of days". Web development has been my passion since highschool but have lost interest in it for too many reasons and one is because I play too much PC games :(

Well, here's my current goals:
1. Review PHP. My PHP skills is quite rusty right now.
2. Study CodeIgniter. It's a PHP web framework similar to Java's Struts that's used in the project I am involved with in the office. There are actually a lot of PHP web frameworks to choose from -Zend framework, Cake PHP, Symfony but I have chosen this one for no special reason.
3. Make my personal website -Imonoid.com
3. Make me an online expenses tracker using CodeIgniter that will be hosted on my website.
4. Learn how to setup properly an opensource CMS, Shopping cart, CRM, and an Employee Management software. I do know how to install them but I need to know how they are used and how they work internally.

This will be my goal for now. Once I complete it, I'm planning on improving my graphics editing sills using The Gimp or Photoshop. This is also a "must" skill for anyone whose planning on doing web dev.
