🦉 Owlstown Newsletter #39: Still March in my time zone

One of my goals was to send at least 1 newsletter every month, but since I’m sending this newsletter in the evening of March 31 in the eastern United States, some of you will be receiving this on April 1 in your time zone. Alas, I wish I had a more clever April Fools’ Day newsletter to send.

Cheers,

Ian 🦉

Owlstown websites load even faster. I removed Javascript and icon fonts that slow down websites. Banner images load faster with responsive loading and efficient formats.

When you add a link to your personal NameBadge in Social Links, it will have a speaker icon next to it. Email me if you want to see other icons in Social Links.
