I've considered making a layout archive but I've really only gotten as far as keeping screenshots of my old layouts. xD

Even if there's only one version, it's kinda nice to see a collective of all your stuff side by side! XD Many of my sites have only had one version so far as well (and possibly always will lol). I don't know if it's a matter of backlogging 'versions' for me, it's more about seeing a collection of my graphic work next to one another. You should consider making one! :D

I'm slowly making progress with my archive. I have a single shift tomorrow so I should get to it at noon... But with this many screenshots it won't be ready till next week. Got a double shift on Saturday so I'll be posting here that day instead of working on the archive.

And I know that I would anyway save pictures of well-made sites for inspiration and if a person has one site with a layout that I like, I will go look up everything else that person has done regardless of my interest in the subject, so layout archives help in that sense.

A layout archive is something I've been wanting to do for the longest time. I think the biggest obstacle I'll have to overcome is deciding on a title. But at least my domain and one of my fanlistings have their own little archives already, so that's a start.

I'll have to set aside some time to look through others' archives. :) Maybe it will motivate me.

I have that same problem! A title always seems to be the thing that makes or breaks a site for me. D:

Well to be honest, if someone wanted to see all my stuff side by side, they can just visit my collective? I mean, I rarely change layouts (if I do, it's going to rain monkies!). I also do a really similar style and most of my templates look the same, so it'd be a very bland archive. I guess I really don't feel/have the need to make one. I initially had thought about it, but it was just a passing thought that faded away. ^^;

I decided to make a layout archive on tumblr thanks to Aku iirc. At first I was just going to add domain layouts but since I've been taking my time to change them I decided to add fanlistings and shrines too. The principal reason to add fls/shrines is it that I'm planning to revamp a lot of them. Right now I just have stuff from this year tho, still trying to decide if I'll add old stuff or not.

I finally got this place up :D Silver Star, my layout archive.

Okay I sort of broke down and made an archive after thinking about it for a while. I'm only posting the layouts I'm proud of, and want to revamp others so I can put them on here. After 4 hours of screen capping and uploading, I has produced Monstre Belle. My subdomain didn't take long to propagate so it's online now. I used tumblr for convenience's sake.

Tumblr doesn't have many nice free themes so I just went with this one. Now that I look at it, I kinda do like how everything looks together side by side. xD
