Issue: Sign-Up Form Data Exposure & 404 Error on "WordWeaver" Link

Description:

Sign-Up Form Data Exposed in Browser Console:
- While creating a new account (sign-up), the data entered into the form is visible in the browser console. This is a significant security vulnerability because it exposes sensitive user data (such as email, password, etc.) to anyone with access to the browser's developer tools. This issue could lead to potential data breaches and violates standard security practices like keeping user data confidential.
404 Error on "WordWeaver" Link:
- Upon clicking the link labeled "WordWeaver" (without the icon) in the website's navigation menu, the user is routed to a 404 Error page. This could negatively affect the user experience and create confusion when users expect to be redirected to a relevant page.

Proposed Fix:

Fixing Data Exposure in Console:
- Implement backend form handling to ensure no form data is logged to the console. Validate and securely transmit data to the server without exposing sensitive information on the client side.
Fixing the 404 Error on "WordWeaver" Link:
- Correct the routing for the "WordWeaver" link, ensuring that it navigates to the appropriate page without resulting in a 404 error.

Why This Matters:

Exposing form data in the console is a severe security threat that can compromise the personal information of users. It is crucial to ensure data security to maintain user trust and compliance with data protection laws.
The 404 error on a major navigation link can cause confusion and disrupt user experience, leading to frustration and potentially decreasing site traffic or user engagement.
