I feel like my skills and knowledge are very dated by now, and I like having an interface like Dreamwidth's to do the heavy lifting. But planning how to structure the content is still very appealing to me.

That makes a lot of sense, and your archive looks really nice! You've got in-built comments and a tagging system that takes care of the fandon 'indexing', but you can still arrange things however you like! I was planning to go a similar route with WordPress before realising that I really wanted to build a dumb static HTML site with blinkies and garish colours xD But I probably would have made more archiving progress by now if I'd used WP or DW 😂

I hope you have fun continuing to archive and set stuff up! ❤️
