too many times i get stuck because i don't like the current version. but redoing the current version means i need a Post page and a Scripts page and also the Links page but also the Gallery page so it's just in development hell and never sees the light of day
you could just archive this and then start from scratch, maybe even entire scratch without a layout and hear yourself out, see where you'll land. don't get stuck in the image of yourself you've made years ago — if it doesn't serve you no more, if it doesn't feel like home, build a new one. Its alright!
If you do rebuild it, I'd recommend trying to build it back up to something simple. When I tried to make my site I tried to do it in a way where I didn't commit to a crazy layout so I can just leave the design alone until the end of time, letting me focus on putting stuff on my pages rather than tweaking the UI stuff around them. Hope that helps idk!
ik social media ain't yalls cup of tea, but until I setup some "publish on your site, syndicate elsewhere" (https://indieweb.org/POSSE) system, I'm largely active on bluesky at @dabric.xyz (https://dabric.xyz/bsky)
not to say my website is abandoned. it isn't. it just takes a lot of time and effort to maintain, and I'm unfortunately currently low on that time and effort ...
Man, I ALMOST picked the same font as you when I was making my site! I love your sense of design!!! Also I see one of my friends in your button list, that's so cool! (He's the Venture guy)

i feel kinda tangled in my legacy stuff. i think i should get just rid of it honestly. but i feel like i'm doing a disservice doing that
