A few things to do to get good panoramas. First, make sure your camera settings are the same for each shot. If you are on 'Auto', you might have problems with changing light, so a clear day is best.
Second, hold the camera dead level, then make sure you overlap each picture about 30%. Pay attention to objects in the frame, and don't try to get the next landmark too near the last one. Overlap is fine, gaps are fatal.
Third, try to keep the plane of the sensor as near the same orientation relative to the current frame as possible. There are tripod heads that will make this easier, but I do it 'freehand'. If you would like, I will send you a couple of my better efforts via email.

NOt an expert by any means, but I have done some pretty good ones.

You left out an important consideration, one that you should be
quite familiar with. After completing the above checklist, with
finger poised on the shutter release to take three pictures in rapid
sequence, remind yourself that you must not <Stab> <Stab> <Stab>

Well, one who is experienced enough at photography to contemplate making panos should already be past that... I hope.
