Why bother doing all that research when someone else (you) has done it all for me? The limited amount of research I have done have pointed me towards a similar conclusion (Wordpress, JQuery and 960 where necessary). Hadn't looked into programming much which is odd considering that's my background (or perhaps it makes perfect sense). That looks like a good article you've linked to... but you're right. The list is pretty overwhelming. I guess there are some advantages to having been hanging around the web dev world for over a decade. It rules out a lot of the fluff for you. Another useful summary.

Interestingly, something like 960 would have been VERY helpful at the beginning of my project! Might have to look into it for future use. Nearly forgot – I do all my own CSS too.

If I had have researched a bit more before I embarked on my web dev journey I probably would've spent WAAAAAY less time learning PHP from scratch and some basic Javascript! I'm still writing my own PHP routines, but I use Prototype as a JS framework. Perhaps it's my complete lack of formal training in programming, but it took me some time to get to grips with Prototype. Still don't use it too much, mainly just for the AJAX-y bits on pages :) Hmmmm…Some interesting stuff here.
