learn sharps, minors, majors, and scales, and learn to play songs and make transitions.
try searching wikipedia for guitar basics.

if you haven't done so already, practice palying them one after the other over and over again.
Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you can play a 'A', and a 'G', and a 'C' - so the next step is getting yourself to be able to move from 'A' to 'G' to 'C' (or whatever chords you know) fluidly. If you look at good guitar players, they don't have to think about it and they don't have any mistakes moving from one chord to another.
Once you can move between chords fluidly, then progress to different strumming patterns or picking patterns.
You should always be practicing doing these things while looking as cool as possible, so play in front of a mirror so you can see if you look like Steve Perry (from Aerosmith, cool) or Steve Jobs (the guy from Apple, dork).

link the chords together, or check out some easy songs. one that i like to play is "wish you were here" by pink floyd. it has the g,c,am, and d chords during the singing. enjoy

Put on your James Taylor, Eric Clapton, and Yes CD's until you can follow along. That is when you know you are doing well.
