> The trouble of making a site (at least for people who can edit html directly, as in this example) is not about how to do it, but about high expectations and standards that we impose on ourselves

I've found that it helps to start with the content first. Whenever I've tried to create a site where there was no content it felt really overwhelming since it's difficult to figure out how to present things nicely when you have no idea what you're trying to present! Of course, if it's your first personal site you very likely don't have much content for it, so it's a bit of a catch-22.
