So, two problems:
1.) My email form is not working, on submit, it advises "web page can't be displayed".
2.) The email form, when properly coded, did not send an email.
I'm trying to get my email form to properly work. It was working, (however was not sending email) then I rearranged some things (added subject line in the form). Now, I can't seem to figure out what went wonky once I added a subject line. Any suggestions?

My PHP form is in the CSS section of JSFIDDLE.
Contact Form HTML
<div class="col-md-8">
<form name="contactform" method="post" action="send_form_email.php">
<div class="row contact-row">
<div class="col-md-6 contact-name">
<input type="text" name="first_name" placeholder="Name">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 contact-email">
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="E-mail*">
</div>
</div>
<input type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject*">
<textarea name="comments" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-color btn-submit" value="Send Message">
</div>
</div>
</form>
<!-- end col -->
