The columns will have equal width on wide screens, and will expand on smaller screens.
These posts follow the URL structure of http://example.com/miscellaneous-post/. They are useful for creating pages like privacy-policy
The "About" page is created as a miscellaneous post.
The contact form will only appear when you provide a URL to the api_url inside contact.
On form submission, a post request will be sent to the URL given with properties name, email, message. A response is expected in the form
{
response: "success"
}
If response is "success" a "Message sent" message will be shown, otherwise an error message is shown.
