Is there a YouTube setting that will show me only the results of what I searched for? So annoying having to scroll past unrelated algorithm suggestions.

Has anyone used tiiny.host and have opinions about it? I’m looking for static web hosts that support drag-and-drop deployments as opposed to Git-based deployments.
A few months ago, I started collecting email addresses of people who wanted to be notified when HTML for People is released.
I should have done something smart, like use a newsletter service or something. But instead I collected the email addresses to a plain text file and decided to let the rest be a future me problem.
Well, the future is rapidly approaching. What is the best way to send an email to about 100 people given only a list of email addresses?
I've completed the rough draft of HTML for People! I still have a lot of work to do to get it ready, but I'm excited to share it with everyone soon.
In the meantime, here is the table of contents.
It was a very minor thing, but I am excited that a PR of mine got merged into Simple.css today.
If you haven't checked out Simple.css, it's a really nice classless framework for making plain HTML look nice. Building a site with Simple.css is the basis of my upcoming web book, HTML for People.

You have got to be kidding me.
Me and some friends are going to be playing the tabletop RPG, Monster of the Week. If you like RPGs and you like shows such as Buffy, Supernatural, Stranger Things, X-Files, Fringe, etc, then you’ll probably like this game.
Here’s the intro and rules summary I wrote for my players.

I’m looking for a shared host recommendation for someone just getting started with PHP—like mostly for includes. Something that’s simple, affordable, and beginner-friendly. Anyone have recommendations?
For some reason I decided that my HTML for People book (I'm experimenting with calling it a book because it's starting to feel like one) needed an appendix chapter on “CSS basics.”
This is by far the most difficult part of the entire thing why do I do this to myself whyy
I set out to style the quaint, white page with its long runs of Times New Roman and I thought to myself, “first, do no harm.”
One of my favorite things is putting on my AirPods Pro, turning on noise cancellation, and then not listening to anything.
I just turned 39 and ordered some Polo trouser socks. I feel so old.
I did some work refreshing my home-cooked bookmarks app. I figured it was finally time to write about this app since I never really did back when I created it two years ago.

Sometimes I pronounce it “gif” instead of the true correct way, “gif.”
