I have a similar concept for my site, with no publish dates and handwritten content/styling. One difference is that I haven't been using a static site generator, which I'm on the fence about using. On one hand it sounds like a much easier way to incorporate mixed media when I create a page, but on the other it feels like needless bloat for such a simple project.

I like the word "garden" for this style of personal site, I might start using that.
