Made a few minor updates on the website:

• Added a contact form to the contact page. The form is powered by Google reCAPTCHA
• Rewrote the whole CSS code because I wasn't completely happy with the previous CSS improvements
• Legal documents were moved to subdirectories:
  • Privacy policy
  • Terms and Conditions

Read the release notes here.

Matomo (formerly Piwik) is the leading open-source analytics platform that gives you more than just powerful analytics.

Upgraded Bootstrap from version 4.1.0 to version 4.1.1

Bootstrap is an open source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS. It is mainly used to power the menu system on this site.

Made a few minor changes to the legal documents of this site. Now everything should be compliant with the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Removed the Cookies Policy page and now it is a part of the Privacy Policy of the site. Updated documents can be found here:

Matomo (formerly Piwik) is the leading open-source analytics platform that gives you more than just powerful analytics.

Yet again I made more minor updates on the website:

• Added ShareThis sharing tools
• Made some minor improvements to the CSS code
• Replaced the cookie consent script with the one from Cookie Script. Now users can agree or disagree to accept cookies from this website.
• Removed the Social section of the site after I had already combined my Twitter and Instagram feeds to the same page a few days ago. At the same time I removed the Instagram feed under the Photos section of the site and got completely rid of the ugly Twitter widget.

Made a few minor updates on the website:

• Upgraded lightGallery from version 1.6.8 to version 1.6.10
  • lightGallery is a customizable, modular, responsive, lightbox gallery plugin for jQuery that I'm using to power the photo galleries
• Combined my Twitter and Instagram feeds to the same page
• Removed AddThis sharing tools

Finished the process of rewriting the whole CSS code and of course this results in a brand new look for the website. Most of the layout changes were done in pure CSS, only a few minor changes in the HTML code were made and these changes were:

• Home page was edited and some images added
• Instagram feed is now powered by LightWidget

Since I'm on vacation for two and a half weeks I've had some time to do some bug hunting on the code of the antman.info website. I've made plenty of changes in the PHP, HTML, JS and CSS code and some other changes as well. These changes include:

• removed AddThis follow tools and replaced them with simpler links
• removed all the obsolete Font Awesome references in the code since I had stopped using it already in February when I made some website layout improvements
• fixed some image links that are powered by fancyBox

That's about it for now and after this news post I update the site map and it will show 666 pages on this site. HELL YEAH!

I just deactivated the Twitter account for the antman.info website. I came to the conclusion that I really don't need two separate accounts since the only tweets for that second accound were links to these news posts and lately I've been tweeting those with my personal Twitter account.

Upgraded two scripts on the server:

• Upgraded Bootstrap from version 4.0.0 to version 4.1.0
  • Bootstrap is an open source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS. It is mainly used to power the menu system on this site.
• Upgraded fancyBox from version 3.2.10 to version 3.3.5
  • fancyBox is a jQuery lightbox script for displaying images, videos and more.

Added three new photos to two different categories:

• antman with Jordan Rudess
• two new photos in the Finland in Winter category: #1 and #2

I just deactivated my Facebook account and removed the Facebook Analytics script from my website. I just don't find this particular social media site that useful anymore. Even when using Social Fixer to fix many of Facebook's annoyances it has become way too spammy for my taste. I really can't say if this is goodbye and good riddance or if I'll be back, time will tell.

Added some legal documents to the site because of the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These documents include the following:

• Terms and Conditions
• Privacy policy
• Cookies policy

Also added a cookie consent due to the EU legislation on cookies.
