Dive right in & start bidding on jobs at Rent-a-Coder.
While doing that, sharpen your skills by reading as much as possible at WebMonkey.
Rent-a-coder also has a lot of useful articles that are worthwhile reading. Topics like how to communicate effectively with clients, & templates for ironing out the detailed specifics of a project before you get locked into a contract.
You might also want to test the mettle of your existing skills by taking certification exams.
There are a quite a few free ones over at BrainBench. Other cost money, but you can see the test outlines for free so you get an idea of what “well rounded” knowledge might be in any given topic.

This is a competitive field right now, but you can start out freelance & pick up small jobs that will build up your portfolio. Web designer wanted ads are all over the net, even on Craigslist.com.
If you want to be a great designer, you’ll need a good eye for aesthetics, creativity, & passion! You basically want to be an artist. Coding & designing can be time-consuming, so you better like it a lot. Also, you’ll need to balance the imagery with functionality. Load time & navigation vs. eye candy.
Flash is hot right now, get good with that & you’re on the road to greatness!

What I usually do is go into Notepad, & type up my own little html design for a website. I save it as (forexample) blah.htm & it will save it in internet form. Then you open up the internet browser & select file – open – browse & then select your file you just saved. It will come up on the browser like a regular website, except exactly what you put in.
You can basically do anything on the internet as long as you know html format.

The thing that will set you apart from other web designers is to develop your talents artistically. A web page is viewed & rated by millions of people who care more about how attractive it is than the complex programming that goes behind it.
Many people can create web pages & forms on top of databases & xml files. Few of them can make it look good.
