@glokta1 I think @himanshuvarandani is busy with his office work. I checked the log and saw that your changes are not getting rendered by the Netlify build. For now, you can update the email addresses such as contact@ssgsa.us to contact [at] ssgsa [dot] us (including spaces) and also, remove the tag and use the tag instead. We can discuss your changes when Himanshu gets back online. |

PR description
Obfuscate leftover emails using advanced munging. Advanced munging converts each char to its ASCII value. This technique is purported to be effective against 85% of web crawlers.
Technique described here: https://www.projecthoneypot.org/how_to_avoid_spambots_2.php
Aesthetically, it looks better than the basic approach of replacing
@and.with(at)and(dot)while also being more effective. Less effective than using JS to obfuscate but has the benefit of being visible without loading any JS.NOTE: I can't get the project setup for now so I couldn't test this change in the browser.
