Ya, it is a little squirly.

Here is my RULING!!!!

First select ranks in skills listed from your race (each race will vary in type and number of ranks you can get). For Major skills: You pick 6 skills to be your MAJOR skills. These can be whatever you want them to be. After you have chosen the 6, put 1 rank into 4 of them. You then choose an archetype and the 4 skills listed there become MAJOR as well. You then choose 2 of these 4 and put 1 rank in them as well. You can stack ranks that way only up to 2 at character generation.

After this is done you can spend your xp (dependent on race) the following ways:

Buy ranks in a skill (only up to 2 at char gen): 5xp x # of the rank you want to buy to (then +5 if it is not a major skill)
Buy a talent for your archetypes talent tree (starting at the top): The XP value stated
Increase an attribute: 10 x # of the value you want to buy to
Get a 2nd archetype (you do not get free ranks in the skills, but they became major and you get access to a new talent tree): 10 x # of archetypes already owned. 

If you have xp left over, you keep it until it is spent.

when buying stuff be sure to note it on your character sheet, I will approve the buys (the math can be tricky)

[edit]

For 'Skill Ranks' -- put in the number of ranks a skill has
For 'Talents' -- put down the talents you bought from your Archetypes trees
