Awesome, good luck with your Neocities site! I don't often link mine around either as I feel like it still needs a lot of work, but it's improving all the time xD I hope you can get to a point where you feel happy to share it ^^

Plus, I ended up finding out that I think coding stuff is actually pretty cool, haha.

Same here! Until I came to make my archive, I hadn't worked on anything like it since about 2016, but I remember how engrossing and satisfying it was to tinker with code and make it work. While I originally had planned to just set up my archive on WordPress to save myself some of the heavy lifting, I realised that I did want to code it myself and have the satisfaction of making it all customisable and adding dumb 90s web touches like pixel art and blinkies. Even if it looks less polished as a result xD
