Initial Markup for Home and About Pages

[paulstefanort]

(Deals with #27.)

These changes provide initial HTML for two of the pages.

Home Page

• Added a basic Google Map centered on Tulsa.
• Added request for user location.
• Added redirect after finding user location. (/#latitude=...&longitude=...)

About Page

• Added basic markup.
• Added button linking user back to home page for location lookup.

Questions

• I changed the body_js block in base.jinja2 to force the scripts referenced in the base template to be included on every page. Not sure whether that is considered an anti-pattern when working with Django. Thoughts on improvement welcome.
• I also added an about route to urls.py. It seems to work properly, but please comment if I missed something.

@jdungan can you review and merge when ready?

It's too narrow at desktop resolutions:

A full width column like .col-md-10 .col-md-offset-1 might work.

My pattern for blocks like this is:

{% block body_js -%}
    <!-- Scripts that everyone gets -->
    <script src="{{ static('vendor/jquery/jquery-1.11.1.min.js') }}"></script>
    <script src="{{ static('vendor/bootstrap-3.2.0-dist/js/bootstrap.min.js') }}"></script>
    {% body_extra_js %}{% endblock %}
{%- endblock body_js %}

This way, a template that includes the base template can:

• Replace all the JS by overriding body_js
• Just add some JS by overriding body_extra_js

Your route for the about page is exactly right.

I would but my postgis install still is inop. I plan to be at the fablab around 10am tomorrow. First order of business is to fix my environ (any volunteers to help?). Then I can review.

@jdungan since I'm the guy that messed it up, of course I'll help out. See you at 10 AM.

@jwhitlock Thanks for the feedback! I see that I forgot to add the CSS classes for desktop browsers when I ported my original static HTML to Django templates. I had been using .col-md-6 and .col-md-offset-3.
