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.

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.

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).
