I highly recommend getting a hardware solution for monitor calibration.
I know it's more money to spend and I wish there was an easier way out but the best way to ensure it's calibrated properly is to use something like a Spyder Pro, Huey etc.
Have a look at the thread below, which I posted, to see why it's deceiving to rely on just software like Adobe Gamma Calibration.

Also ensure that you are working with the same colour space on your monitor as your camera settings and that you tick both "Proof Setup| Monitor RGB" and "Proof colours" under the View menu in Photoshop each time when working on images.
Finally export you images in sRGB for viewing on the net as most browsers don't manage the colourspace.
Only Fire Fox 3.5 has the ability by defult to utilise the colour space setting of the image, which also makes it a bit of a pain atm because when posting, you have to take into account that some may be viewing your image with FF 3.5 and some with other browsers that are not colour space managed.
