If you can code something that looks cool as part of putting up your portfolio, that's definitely a good thing. Then adding some client work as you go along is also good (some clients won't let you use their application or reference it, so grab screen shots and fuzz out identifiable logo and phrases and post those along with good descriptions of the customer's need and how you exceeded it).

Waiting for a stupidly long ftp copy to finish, I got around to writing "Pricing is Marketing" on my blog at www.FreelanceLocalTech.com/blog. Seeing as how low you are valuing your HTML/CSS skills, you'll want to take a look at it.
