Note other form types like a chat-style button in the bottom corner etc are possible, but I went HTML for widest applicability |

OK, so summary:
The contact page uses FormSpree for email delivery, which is free for <=50 submissions per month. It currently goes to me, but we can change that - it's registered under "edinbr@emeraldreverie.org" but we can add another address and reconfigure without having to redeploy the site. Likewise we can potentially change the login to FormSpree to a shared email too.
FormSpree has a ton of options which I have for now left at defaults. I will upload a screenshot so you can see what we have access to. The contact page renders a basic form and sends the POST to FormSpree, which then handles further actions. It is pluggable if we want to do fun things like collating responses in a spreadsheet etc.
The styling is dreadful because I suck at CSS. Improvements very much welcome.
The change to
_config.ymlis because newer versions of Jekyll seem to require "plugins" instead of "gems" - I'm not sure what version is being used to build the site so I added rather than replaced.
