Magento module - redefines the controller, adds templates

Question

I am currently working on a Magento extension, and I have redefined the main controller, which works great.

Now I have added a new action for my controller. The problem is that whenever I invoke an action, a blank page is created. If I repeat something, it displays correctly.

So I dug up the core of the Customer module and controllers. I saw that methods like indexAction()implement the layout like this:

<?php
public function indexAction()
{
  $this->loadLayout();
  $this->_initLayoutMessages('customer/session');
  $this->_initLayoutMessages('catalog/session');

  $this->getLayout()->getBlock('content')->append(
      $this->getLayout()->createBlock('customer/account_dashboard')
  );
  $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->setTitle($this->__('My Account'));
  $this->renderLayout();
}

I transferred this to my action and the layout now displays correctly. Now to the question:

No matter what I enter the call ->createBlock('...'), nothing is displayed in the content area.
