Setting up Self IPs, VLANs and interfaces properly

If I'm doing something wrong here, someone let me know. I don't know if I've broken a protocol for how to request help or if the way I'm describing my problem isn't easy to understand. I'm just finding it difficult to get this thing up and running.

I know that the best way is to take one of the in-person training classes and I intend to do that. But the timeline won't allow for that right now. I just need to get traffic flowing, then I can go deeper from there.

So if anyone can offer some insight here and answer a few questions from a n00b, I would be so thankful.
