For a while now, I've wanted to have a search box on this website.
Due to my lack of knowledge of building HTML search boxes, I've had to do a lot of googling to find the code, and I have had to just paste it here. It makes it easier than having to type it all in--particularly when CSS is also involved!
So yes, the search box given below is pasted from a search result, but at least you know why...

What do I cover on the channel?
I cover a variety of different topics, specifially assistive technology related. I also do radio jingle montages of some of my favorite radio stations, ranging `from local to across the country to even in the UK! I have also been an avid radio listener since I was little, and I've always payed attention to jingles I love and dislike.
For a period, I used to do music covers of me singing some of my favorite songs, however those had to unfortunately stop due to YouTube's copyright policies.
