Hey Danny, I know where you're coming from, I taught myself everything as well and its pretty difficult when you go that route (though personally, I think it makes you better since you learn a ton of stuff along the way you wouldn't otherwise have known). Admittedly I didn't start with web development it was mainly x86/C but I think a lot of problems overlap - I mean I still remember (had no internet then ) reading tons of man pages and looking through c header files trying to find error codes and why gcc was giving me such and such error. So I do feel your frustration :) One thing though, I don't really see how blogging helps you? Otherwise, I think your ideas are great especially having a mentor or just friends who you can talk to about code and the like. Also an internship or just building complete projects will help tons as well. best of luck in your endeveours.
