 Should I or shouldn't I?

I'm starting to wonder if my website is due for a redesign. I don't know what the purpose of this site is; guess there really isn't one. I don't know it's something I'll need to think about.
How its set up now, it's a compilation of the crap I do here in the Internet. I don't promote it. Its simply a place mark of my own.
I like this design, clean and simple, and if I do make a change it'll be mainly content. I'll rewrite the HTML to clean up redundancy issues and fix a few cosmetic problems, but keep the general idea.
One thing that I may end up getting rid of is the RSS.....that is unless I can find a truly functional way to use it. It's more of a hassle than anything else. Besides, no one cares about it, including me.
But I don't know. If you have any ideas, let me know.

It's all good!!!! The Web Server is back online

Got the server back up. I archived everything, wiped the server clean, and installed the newest version of FreeBSD and all the daemons.
I haven't rebuilt a webserver in years and it was all a system of remembering how I did everything. I wrote down different documentation for different things (like building a mail server) but since technology is always changing, I had to keep learning the new ways.
The biggest change I noticed was with PHP. I had to go and install the PHP extensions for XML for crying out loud. Nonetheless, I'm growing more confident in BSD than I have ever been.
For example, I had a compiling of a port fail at a certain specific prerequisite port. I had to go grab it from the Internet and manually load the compressed file into the distfiles directory. Never had to do that before.
Oh, and reloading this website was completely painless. I tar archived the whole thing. All I had to do was modify the directory tree in a few places and go back and hack with the PHP extensions. That's it.
I also would have saved a lot of time if I knew it was much easier to install phpMyAdmin via ports. Run the port, load that broken fetch, slightly modify http.conf, create a symbolic link, config security tidbits to the software and I was done.
It was fun! Maybe I should blow it off again and rebuild it for the fun of it. Naah, it's working great, why mess with it?
Oh yeah, just remembered, this will be the first test of my CMS. Hope it works.
Yep, it worked :-)
