All the goings on with this website

In honor of the 20th Anniversary of my registering the domain name marchtwenty.com, I would like to share my insights into the construction of this iteration of this website. So... what went into making this website? As I've learned over the years I tend to take the more difficult route when it comes to my websites. I preferred taking an [...]

In honor of the date of this website's namesake, and of course my birthday🎈🎂, here is a little history of the existence of this website. This website has existed in one form or another for over twenty years. It began as a personal webpage through my ISP RoadRunner and then I transitioned it over to march-twenty.com then on to marchtwenty.net. [...]

When I got my start in web design, the online tools were nowhere near as powerful as the ones that can be found today. The net is ripe with a number of amazing web apps and tools that I never thought would be possible twenty years ago. Those resources greatly enhanced my ability to deliver a heavily optimized and visually [...]

After years of work redeveloping my WordPress theme - m20T1, I've finally finished the redesign of marchtwenty.com. This theme is a total rebuild of the custom theme I had been using for over 10 years. My intention for this theme was to make it as plugin independent as possible while keeping it as efficient and feature-rich as possible. The design [...]

While checking out the Wayback Machine (see previous post), I realized that I had a number of pre-WordPress 'news' entries and writings going back to 2001 that I had forgotten about, and had neglected to bring to future versions of my site. I corrected that mistake by retroactively inserting those old writings into this existing blog. Those old posts don't [...]

I revamped my normalization CSS stylesheet and I cleaned out all the specialized classes that I had implemented in an effort to make this more universally acceptable. This version is far more streamlined and deals only with the core HTML elements. There is still a lot of opinionated stuff in there, so this probably won't be for everyone, or anyone [...]

I went ahead and redid my site for the millionth time, mainly because the original header (hero) was too data-heavy, and also not very interesting. Also, I wanted to clean up the look of the site, and improve its mobile presentation as well. The core of this site is a normalization and base HTML5 stylesheet, as well as a companion [...]

It's been 10 years since I registered MarchTwenty.com. The years before I registered this domain name, I had registered march-twenty.com and then later marchtwenty.net. As such, I redesigned the site... again. With luck, I will now try and focus on my next book(s).

Happy new year! As you can see I changed the theme again. I just wasn't happy with the previous attempt. I for the life of me could not make the background work with the text in the foreground. Hopefully, I'll be happy with this theme for a while at least.
