I have just launched a new photography account on Instagram: @mgrove36.photos ! Please go and check it out; follow if you're interested. Here's a taste of what you'll find: These photos were all taken at Cobnor Point or Emsworth, England, and are © Copyright Matthew Grove 2018.

I have given up on using Zoho Mail for custom email addresses, but have just discovered a different service: Yandex.Connect. This provides what is seemingly the same service as Zoho Mail, except it allows .tk , .ml , .ga , .gq and .cf  domains (notice that these are all of the free ones from Freenom) - although when you sign up, make sure you do it through connect.yandex.com , as opposed to domain.yandex.com , which is an older service (they are migrating to Yandex.Connect) that doesn't allow all of the free domains.

This means that the domain name I was going to use is now redundant. Yay. I am yet to find an alternative, as it seems all of the free domain names are blocked on Zoho (although they still haven't confirmed this) - so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please leave them here . Also this week, I have been ex...
