Think about seeing the forest for the trees, or your theme for the blocks and menus. Also, get a healthy dose of great links for learning HTML and CSS, and fixing IE problems. You've got to get Firefox and a few killer theming extensions, and there are lots of Drupal handbook pages, modules and themes to check out in the process of creating a theme unique to your site.
