One thing that worked really well for me when I was learning was StumbleUpon. Choose the python, html, css, web design, photoshop, etc categories and stumble along until you find a tutorial or article that interests you. It will expose you to alot of concepts and topics you otherwise wouldn't have thought to teach yourself. Also, come up with an idea that you think is just out of reach of your current skill and just dive in and build it! It doesn't have to be the best thing in the world, and you don't have to be focused on making money with it, but the process of trying to architect the thing, and then putting together all the pieces will be a more valuable experience than any classroom could give you. You have IRC, stackoverflow, and other similar resources to ask for help if needed.
