The Contact Form

I found a high quality tutorial for creating an HTML5 contact form.

http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/build-a-neat-html5-powered-contact-form/

The tutorial makes use of HTML5 boilerplate, which is apparently a very flexible bare-bones template for web designers. I will definitely look into using this if there's any chance it could save time and lower development costs for me and for my clients. But, as with anything else that deals with web technologies, learning how to use it effectively will take time.

Regarding the contact form. I will follow along with the tutorial and make a functioning stand alone contact form page that isn't connected to the PSYPHER101 blue site (the name I've given the the project), but it will be connected to my info@psypher101.com email address. Once I get it to work I will attempt to peel away the layers of code and adopt form functionality to the blue site quick form, located in the footer.

In the mean time I will simply get the rest of the buttons throughout the site to animate like the ones on the homepage.

You can view the latest build of the blue site here: http://www.psypher101.com/web%20templates/portfolio2/
