This is my impression of the order in which the Avengers films should be watched in order to follow a loose sense of continuity. There will be a couple questions raised, I discuss a few of them in the blog post.
Feel free to discuss and debate!


Ordered by U.S. Theatrical Release Date
5/2/08 - Iron Man
6/13/08 - The Incredible Hulk
5/7/10 - Iron Man 2
5/6/11 - Thor
7/22/11 - Captain America: The First Avenger
5/4/12 - The Avengers

Ordered by Chronological Events
1) Captain America: The First Avenger
2) Hulk
3) Iron Man
4) The Incredible Hulk
5) The Consultant
6) A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to Thor's Hammer
7) Thor
8) Iron Man 2


Edited for Chronological Accuracy
Captain America: The First Avenger
---starting with WWII era scenes, stop before modern day
Iron Man
--re-edited so opening flashback happens at the proper point in the film.
The Incredible Hulk
---stop before Tony Stark cameo
The Consultant
Thor
---stop before the scene of people trying to remove Mjolnir from the ground.
Iron Man 2
---stop after Agent Coulson leaves to go on a trip.
A Funny Thing Happened on the way to Thor's Hammer
Iron Man 2
---stop before Coulson returns.
Thor
---remaining scenes
Iron Man 2
---Coulson's return and remaining scenes
Captain America: The First Avenger
---first scene (flashback), followed by Steve waking up in modern world.
THE AVENGERS!!!

Fairly sure sections of the Incredible hulk are concurent with Iron Man 2, unless that was just old news footage that was playing in the background.

Actually the scene of the Frost Giant invasion of Earth that left the Cosmic Cube in Norway from Thor was set in 965 AD, so that's first.

That and the scene of Odin talking to young Thor & Loki I'm pretty sure occurred long before any of the other Avengers were ever born as well.
