Comment:

 I tested the Pro-Sunset theme and the Connections 1.0 theme.  Neither
 added any posts or pages.  That would be very strange behavior for a
 theme.

 The Connections 1.0 theme has a "Contact" link hardcoded into header.php,
 but it doesn't go anywhere -- it is a dummy link intended to be edited by
 hand.  Pro-Sunset contains no such link, and in fact the word "contact" is
 not mentioned once in all of the theme's files.

 In your support forum post, you said:

 > I have created the Contact as a Post

 Well that's your problem right there.  You need to create a Page, not a
 Post.  Posts show on your 'home' view.  You don't want that.  So use a
 Page.
