I was having a hard time trying to focus. Any suggestions?
Also, I kinda like the effect the out of focus gave. (Not that I was trying for that effect)
I was also having to press the shutter myself. I don't have a remote. Could that have caused the blur/out of focus?

My method was essentially the same as yours Scott, except I had it set on f/8. I did a quick internet search before starting and someone suggested f/8.
..... a self timer.........

Prefocus, then turn the AF off. When I shoot 'em, I take some test shots and zoom in on the monitor and check street lights, car headlights, etc. that are in the distance. Once correct focus is found, I turn off the AF (both on the body AND the lens) and check the focus point often to make sure I haven't moved it.

No.

I shoot mine around f/9 or f/10 @ ISO 100.
