Josh “Yoshi” Vickerson<p>Does anyone have a good example of an ad, webpage, video or other marketing material that does a good job of both *educating* and selling?

Catherine<p>Does anyone know if I can turn off backtracking for <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/PageFind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PageFind</span></a> search? Currently it returns results for '19' when searching for '1960' which is not helpful. I want zero results if the term is not found. <br>I've tried setting language unknown but it didn't seem to help (even with word searches).<br><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/webDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>webDev</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/StaticWebsites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StaticWebsites</span></a></p>
Christopher Bauer :debian: :i3wm: :blobcatthinkingglare:<p>I've rebuilt my blog using 11ty! </p><p>I'd been using Jekyll with Github Pages previously and it was becoming clear that it was time to move on. My realization came when I recently upgraded my home machine and had to install backports on Debian to obtain a load of outdated software and dependencies just to recreate the local build flow. </p><p>Also, I never got ruby. 11ty has shown more flexibility around markdown's hybrid forms and I'm familiar with npm and node to a limited extent.</p><p>The migration was challenging. I wrote up a python script to translate image and frontmatter markdown syntax into nunjucks to migrate my old posts to the new theme I'm using.
