In my opinion, the first thing you need to forget in the initial design phase is the design itself. Think more along the lines of what is needed. Make an outline of what each page will display. Weight each item and figure out the best real estate for it to use on the page. Sketch it out on pager. Build it and add the needed functionality. Then add design.

The reason your staring at a blank page is your trying to see a finished product. Forget about what it looks like. Think functionality first and the design will build itself as your subconcious mind thinks about the issue while your concious mind builds the structure/function.

Hey, the last thing the cook puts on your plate is the garnish.
