As a site editor, I want to remove the unnecessary google-related CSS from the submission form

[shaunagm]

The first version of the submission form was a google form. We've switched to using our own end, but the legacy of unnecessary CSS remains!

To clean the submission form up, I suggest the following: go through the class/id references in the submission form and remove anything that is not referenced in custom.css (you can also do a search through the whole repository using git grep or the github interface, but I think custom.css is the only place that would have references.

@shaunagm I believe you've mistakenly linked "the submission form" back to this page itself.

Thanks, @IamAdiSri! Yes, I meant to link here: http://mergestories.com/submit.html

I've fixed it in the issue.

No problem!
I would actually like to work on this issue, however i haven't really contributed that much before, so i will need some guidance. I have some knowledge of HTML, CSS and basic Python. Is there a possibility that i can help with this? If so, would you please assign this to me? Thanks!

You are welcome to tackle this! Knowledge of HTML and CSS are the main things you need, although knowing Python will be useful in getting the site set up locally. Please feel free to ask me questions you have. :)

Hey, I did manage to set up the website locally and started working on the issue, however i don't think i will be able to go on with this. From what i can make out, the code features Bootstrap (which i haven't learnt yet) along with the regular CSS and as of now I'm unable to clearly distinguish between the two, hence not being able to properly edit the file. I don't really want to risk breaking anything. I'm really sorry, I think i'd be better off trying another issue, or tackling this after I've learnt some more. :/

Could you please tell me what all i would need to learn to work on this?
