I saw does frags in person and was tempted to buy both, you are right your picture taken skills needs some (a lot) polishing

Just keep in mind that when you're just learning, the guy behind the camera is often a bigger limiting factor than the lens.

As an all-around lens, it's hard to beat the Sigma 17-70. It's about $340 on amazon, and offers a lot of performance for the money. As an added bonus, it can also focus closer than most lenses, about halfway betwen a standard lens and a true macro (1:2.3 magnification). That and a long telephoto would make a pretty good combo if you want to limit the number of lenses you own.

If you don't want to spend that much money, I'd start with a basic Canon 18-55 "kit lens" from the XT. You can probably pick one of those up for <$70 used. Nothing particularly stands out about this lens but the price. But, if you just want a zoom in this range to play around with while you're learning the camera, you can't go wrong here.

I have the 18-55 currently in this range, but I'm planning to replace it with a Canon 17-40L. It's another great lens, but $600+.

Better right

Yeah, I like the green one.
