How This Website Was Made
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 [...]
The History of MarchTwenty
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. [...]
Tools I Use When Designing Websites
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 [...]
New Site for 2022
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 I [...]
State of the Site 2021
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 [...]
Wayback Machine
It just recently dawned on me that my old websites going all the way back to 2001 are still out there via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Sure most of the pictures were not archived and my HTML coding is super janky (thanks Microsoft FrontPage), but the writing is all there. Archive of my first website through RoadRunner:
And We Have Another Site Redesign
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 [...]
New Site, New Logo for 2016
I spent the last year working on redesigning MarchTwenty and it's respective logo. I figured the 'm20' logo with the title 'Marchtwenty' seemed a little redundant, so I went with something more dramatic, plus I wanted a logo that would fit nicely in a square. The site itself is built around a WordPress template that I created from scratch. The [...]
10th Anniversary of MarchTwenty.com
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).
Theme Change Again, Again
I've been monkeying around with WordPress for the last month or so. I think I now have a pretty good handle on its inner workings, so I've been able to make this theme a little more compact and unique from the pedestrian default look, of my old theme. Anyway, I may still make some changes to the graphics through the [...]
