I've set up an account over at Neocities. I am going to host all my old dorky stuffs there. I've wanted to make a separate index on my Wordpress site to host dorky stuff, but I've been fighting with the layouts I have to use.
I have a wordpress.com site, which means I don't have to worry about security updates, being hacked, international compliance, site outages or stuff like that. If I have a problem with that or anything else, I can make others fix it for me. The downside is that I am stuck with premade layouts. I'd need a .org site to easily customize it to what I want, but I'd have to keep on top of security issues and have site outages from updates. There is a lady in Portland who specializes in customizing wordpress.com sites and she could fix my problems. But she's also super racist and uses money from wordpress consulting to fundraise for her evangelic and anti-gay church. Why does like have to be so freaking complicated sometimes?
Anyway, My wordpress site is very polished. I've iterated on it to try to get the best user experience. Look at this polished gallery
My Neocities site and pages are hot messes and I am going to randomly shove content on them and not care. Here is my Neocities homepage. I've started my first fandom page and it's a bunch of pictures from Kane shows, including the night Jensen Ackles was there. Here is that webpage. Have you seen anything so hacked together in the last decade?. (Kane is Christian Kane's band. He's the guy who played Eliot Spencer on Leverage.)
Maybe I'll go back and make those pages a little bit better, but right now I have more pages to make and shove content on. I am going to put up some SPN related pictures, a Buckaroo Banzai shrine and a page of random uncategorized nerdy pictures of mine.

I keep forgetting I even have it. The other day I finally added a drawing, because for months it was just the testing text blocks.
