My Special Agent blog website started off as just an idea in 2008.  I started to notice a number of garbage sites peddling useless information to potential 1811 applicants, mostly in the hopes of making a quick buck.  I also realized there was an absence of a central repository of information pertaining to the 1811 - Criminal Investigator position.  Thus was born the idea of a website dedicated to the Special Agent profession.  Of course, I had the idea but clearly lacked the requisite website building skills.  My first attempt using "blog.com" was an unmitigated disaster and resulted in digital junk.  However, it did lay down an outline for future site project. Eventually the web development tools became more and more user friendly.  One day I noticed a "website" for life purchase ad and quickly bought the site on the off chance it could work.  It took another two years of trial and error before the basic SA Blog site finally went online in early 2020.
