Yeah, I think the author missed the mark with that line too. Most peoples personal websites today are a series of articles, so of course dating them is reasonable, and sorting by it is also nice for the reader. Even online manuals, which should not be organized around chronology benefit greatly by having dates on them. We rarely see the 90's style homepages with "Here is my a list of my favourite episodes" and "This is my gallery of my favourite cats" anymore. But if you want to make your home on the web more about themes, than articles, then great.
