Using local transportation in Malta?

I shall be visiting Malta for two weeks this summer and shall be staying in Mellieha, located in the north of the island, close to the ferry terminal where one can travel to its sister island - Gozo. Using only the local bus network as well as visiting the capital Valletta I would like to see as much of Malta (towns, villages, landmarks, places of interest etc....) as possible in a logical & systematic way. As Malta is one of the smallest nations in Europe (hopefully) this should be fairly achievable.

Any guidance on using the bus service on Malta (& Gozo) in this regard would be much appreciated.
