Never lose sight of what your website means to you. It's something you use to express yourself, without the need to be "perfect" or "clean". I think I've been so caught up in learning about SSGs that I realized I haven't been working on making a good ol HTML and CSS and JavaScript page (・–・;)ゞ So basically, may take a break from that and go back to remembering the comfort of simple html and css.
The trick to making a page easier to create is COMPLETELY IGNORING the styling and to just start out with the content within the page. Content first, styling later. I ALWAYS FORGET THIS.
amen !
