Default Want to spend some money - Strobist set up - help?

Sorry if this has been posted a thousand times, but I have been reading so much and trying to absorb it all, and am seeking clarification that I am getting everything I need - and not missing something vital that because I have never used it, I don't know I need it!

I have a Canon EOS 450d, and a Jessops 360AFD Digital Flashgun for Canon (this one)
The flashgun doesn't appear to have any sort of jack input.

Can I get the Strobist 1 Light kit from here?

It doesn't mention my camera model...

If I can get this kit, would I need anything else (aside from the cheapie cactus pocket wizards) to use it? With these triggers then, and the equipment in the starter kit, would I need any other connections? or do they come with the triggers? (it's the connections that worry me)

I'm very confused about it all, but basically I would like the ability to use 2 flashguns, and looking at getting an Orbis ringflash too. What would I need to get to enable my camera to connect to all 3? or would I be able to use my existing flashgun and a ringflash off camera and would that suffice? (I don't want to overkill)

I'm just worried that I will end up either buying things I don't need, or not having that vital componant that allows me to connect it all up...

Please can someone help me?
