HTML Form not working on submit button & needs activation-CodePudding

I am a student & i am working on practicing an app for a blog post. Downloaded "clean-blog" template on startbootstrap website.

Link attached:https://startbootstrap.com/theme/clean-blog

Now using Node & EJS trying to work on form submission. But the form is not getting passed through. There was a comment snippet which said: activation token needed

I am not even getting a change in mouse pointer to 'click-finger' when my mouse is near the submit button. I am a student & just using this for learning purpose. Tried removing all unwanted attributes, but still the the form is not getting activated. Now I have undone the changes I did to the page. Below is the code for my ejs file.

Can anyone help me activate the "form" just for demo purpose? What all should I remove for this to happen?
