I recently sat down to redesign my site (again... it seems I am destined to design exclusively for myself... dammit no freelance stuff) and I left the computer an hour later completely frustrated; how do you guys keep designing for the same left-right-up-down rectangular web? I tried to think of a new way to present the information in my site, but I couldn't think outside the box, literally! I looked everywhere on the web for inspiration, but nearly EVERYTHING decently designed was done in a somewhat rectangular fashion. How else do you get people to read what you've written?

How do you people keep on designing for something so... fixed? Help me out of the rut...
