How to create a working contact form in Jekyll - Jekyll Tutorial 5

[No CLI used] In this video I will be showing how to create forms in static websites like Github pages or Jekyll blogs.

I would not recommend this to be used on forms where the data entered in the form is confidential. Because a copy of the data is kept in formspree database.

But for all other general purpose forms where the data is not so crucial then formspree is a great option.

I have explained 'making a form in Github pages' in the following steps

3. Make necessary changes such as your email address and appearance as you wish.

4. Try the form yourself by entering some data. It will ask you to confirm it when you are using it for the first time.

5. Now the form works whenever someone submits some data and a mail will appear in your inbox!

Refer to the playlist for complete tutorial on Github Pages and hosting websites, blogs on it.

Thank you very much for this!
I was contemplating on using *Mailgun*, or other 3rd party alternatives such as JotForm + Wufoo, for my *Ghost* blogs contact page - but this seems like such an easier solution.

Hello! Can I make it work without the people having to confirm their email?
Can I do the same using mailchimp?

Thanks,
