I think the deeper issue is that there is no "one right way".
I subscribe to the "you need to be original myth" for example. If I don't feel I can contribute anything to the existing corpus of text then I won't write about it. This does not mean that there can't be pre-existing content; I did an explainer on bitmasks for example – hardly a new concept – but I felt I could add something to the existing corpus, so it was "original" in that sense. I also tend to only write on things I'm fairly knowledgable on (with one or two exceptions) and while no one is ever "100% correct" I spend quite a bit of effort ensuring it's as close as I can be. All of this is what works well for me, so that's fine.
Fundamentally: it's your site, and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. Purple text on a pink background? It's your site! Lost of swearing? It's your site! Furry drawings? It's your site! Gay leather kink pictures in the sidebar? It's your site!
