Additions:
I was reading http://bnovc.com/site/?page=home&comment=24 when I made this - it seems the best, non-convoluted tutorial I could find.
Deletions:
2) included the JS files in my header:
%%(html4strict)
<!-- these are in <head> -->
<script src="/demos/scripts/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/demos/scripts/effects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/demos/scripts/dragdrop.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/demos/scripts/controls.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
%%
