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 [...]

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.

Anyway, I may still make some changes to the graphics through the [...]

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.

I decided I didn't like the look of this site, it was my first attempt with Wordpress after all. Anyway, I kept the layout the same, but I redid the bulk of the graphics and colors. As well as fixing as much as I could of Wordpress's sloppy HTML and CSS coding from the default theme they provide. I'm still [...]

I've been making some changes lately. I just switched my hosting to something a little simpler and less expensive, and I've also ditched my own custom content management system for WordPress. I figured it just wasn't worthwhile continuing work on my own custom CMS when there are plenty of better and free alternatives out there. And I figured I may [...]
