with regards to your website? when I first started, just slowly working on it each day helped me figure it out
taking advantage of pseudonymity - to where you can discuss anything you like, make anything you like, sketch out the ideals you want in reality; that's the beauty to me
one other suggestion would be to just edit the raw html/css until you get a feel for what exactly you want to do with your site. that's what I did before making a custom static site generator. the preemptive templating may feel constraining. even now my SSG feels constraining; want to do more with my site but that'd require rethinking templating/workflow :~)
