@dasdom Learning something (new or old) is never a waste of time I‘d say.
IF you want to brush up your HTML/CSS a blog is probably not the ideal project. To limit scope, maybe opt for a single purpose page/one-pager instead?
Can relate to the Theme conundrum.
If you can narrow down candidates, many themes allow for customization without breaking updates from upstream.
Well maintained themes are few and far between. (Especially w/o US cloud deps all over and proper accessibility built in.)

I personally celebrated 10 years of neglecting my blog because Octopress (based on Jekyll) exploded in my face. (I really don’t like Ruby.) I‘ll not pursue have coding anymore, but most likely will go for `hugo` and I‘ve narrowed down to a few possible themes by now. (Deployed with `git`, CI/CD yadda yadda.) Happily using Hugo for other projects skewed. For me, an easy to use SSG is key to remove friction for blogging. Also keeping decades of old content, so anything Markdown based would do.
