How do you fire the pop up flash along with an off camera flash at the same time? I have a nikon d60.

Also, for strobist type stuff, do i have to have at least two external flashes?
uhm, if it was as simple as that I wouldnt have asked this question. If I'll be using a radio trigger then is there any way that I can fire an off cam flash and my pop up flash?
 
Simply go into a dark room set your camera to portrait photo then when you click to take the picture it should come up.
 
You can:

1. Use an optical slave trigger for the off camera flash that WON't trigger on a preflash.

2. Connect the off camera flash to the PC connector on the camera with a sync cable.

No. In photography, what you need depends strictly on how you want to shoot your subject. What you are seeing with the Strobist is how to use portable flash to get the same (or similar) images as is commonly seen using studio lighting. If the image you want to capture needs two light sources, then it needs two light sources.

The pop up flash is an extemely useful and convenient little accessory and it surprises people to find out that I use it at all, but it is limited in a lot of ways. Start with one portable flash and learn what you can do with that both on camera and off. Most two flash shots can be done with one flash and knowing how to use reflectors. Similar with three flash shots. People say, rightly, that it's not the camera, it's the photographer. It's pretty much like that with lighting, too.
