Subject: [PATCH] NewVisitorTest() in functional_tests almost passes, but needs
 DRY refactor; pair of functions added to HomePageTest() in
 apps.dashboard.tests; home_page() FBV in .views streamlined using django
 templating; templating also applied & form w. csrf functionality added to
 to-do list in home.html
