New Email Subscription Service & Updated Privacy Policy

magnifying glass with PRIVACY in red in the lens, outside of the magnifying glass in a kind of crossword pattern are other words, such as protection, security, defence, safety, secrecy, rights, individual and personal

With the introduction of the GDRP in the EU it seemed like a good time to update my Private Policy. You can find it here.

Also, I have cancelled my previous email newsletter subscription service. I was getting a lot of spam subscribers (why??) and I wasn’t confident it was GDRP compliant.

I have now signed up with Mail Chimp. As far as I could tell, the only way to get a GDRP compliant form onto the blog was via a popup. I am NOT a fan of popups. I hope I have alleviated some of the annoyance of it by setting (I think!) it to pop up after 20 seconds and not immediately. And, I’m told by Mail Chimp that once the pop up is seen, it won’t be seen again for at least a year if the visitor accepts/keeps the cookie which will be loaded after it pops up.  If Mail Chimp offers a GDRP compliant option that is not a pop up in the future, I’ll switch to that.

On holiday!

Our family is heading off on the Big UK Adventure, so no new blog posts until we get back in early August. I’ll be posting pics and chatting here and there on Twitter so I’ll still be around the place but I won’t have any time for reviewing and hardly any for reading.

Here is just one of the places we are going:

Housekeeping

I’ve recently transferred the blog from a Blogger platform to WordPress.  As far as my testing has shown, all the links work fine but if you have some trouble, please let me know and I will fix what needs fixing.

I’ve tested the new site on the iPad and other mobile devices.  It seems to be fine (although I had to turn my own phone to a landscape view to see the site properly) but if you have difficulty on a mobile device, I’d be happy to hear from you.  If there are problems, I will see what I can do about a more functional mobile site.  I am brand new to WordPress however, so I’d ask that you bear with me.

Any comments or feedback on the new site are welcome.  While I know that my visitors are not my beta testers for this site, if you do have some feedback, please feel free to share it.  Just like when you move into a brand new house, sometimes it is only by “living in it” for a while you can find the various bugs.

I hope this new site will be a robust platform for the blog.  Please feel free to look around the new place and settle in – as I don’t plan on moving platforms again!
