Publicly document how to use arbitrary URLs #120

It's not very obvious to authors how to make iplayif.com work with arbitrary URLs.

I think the home page of https://iplayif.com/ could stand to have a form (or a link to a form?) where anyone could paste in an URL, and it would redirect the user to https://iplayif.com/?story=<url>.

Make it a PR! https://github.com/curiousdannii/parchment/blob/master/index.html ain't fancy.

It's not exactly the same as what we'd want for Parchment, though it wouldn't be hard to change, so a PR would certainly be welcome. Otherwise I should be able to get to this soon.

I'm thinking the ideal would probably be to use the history API to update the URL but without actually causing the browser to navigate to a new page.

I'll make the change to rewrite the current navbar with the history API and submit a PR tomorrow or soon.
