Contact form instead of email (avoiding spam)

You might keep your email address private to avoid spam while providing a contact form to get in touch with you.

Since Jekyll serves static pages, an external service is required for the contact form.

It is easy to setup a Google form at https://docs.google.com/forms: ensure your form is automatically collecting at least email address and message test.

Then among the footer-links in _config.yml insert:

googleform: d/101nW2MzLYJDN69ELY6fdJCys-dNOTEKKUsDni5wW9Aw/ # the part after https://docs.google.com/forms/

In svg-icons.html insert:

{% if site.footer-links.googleform %}<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/{{ site.footer-links.googleform }}"><i class="svg-icon email"></i></a>{% endif %}

As you can notice, in the code snippet above the already provided svg-email icon is used: email via a contact form does not deserve a different icon in my opinion.

Other services might be available, but the simplicity of Google form is hard to beat.
