Finally got around to making my Contact page. Thanks CForms II !
Well, I finally got around to creating my CONTACT page. I guess I initially put it off because I knew it would take forever to get any human traffic to my site. I’ve been working pretty hard at site promotion since I’ve been in my debilitated state so I knew I better get my butt in gear and get a Contact Page created.
It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. The biggest task was sifting through the many Contact Form Plugins that are available for Wordpress. I finally settled on Cforms II by deliciousdays.com. This is a great plugin with many options to help you set up your form just the way you want it.
There’s a Form Settings for the form itself, a Pluggin Settings for dealing with all the behind the scenes elements of the form, a Style settings which allows you to chose from a variety of predefined CSS Stylesheets, and a Help Guide to fully explain how the whole thing works. You are far from limited with what you can do with this plugin and that is why I like it so much. If you aren’t that computer savy and don’t like to get your hands dirty with some CSS or PHP coding then don’t fret, the options for this plugin will do just fine for getting you where you need to be. For me though, I wanted to ensure that my contact form flowed nicely with my blog’s overall theme, so I had to do some tweaking to the CSS, just a tiny bit within the plugins main php file, as well as inserting some code into the Contact page. It took a while to get things to where they are now and I must say I am very happy with the results. The developer really put a lot of hard work into making this plugin as user friendly as possible, and I’m very happy to have stumbled across it. And although on the developer’s website it is mentioned that you don’t have to include the link information at the bottom of the contact form if you don’t want to (link love option), I encourage you to do so if you end up using this great plugin for your wordpress blog or website. Developers such as this who put out great programs at no cost to the user deserve to be recognized and praised for their efforts. Without them Wordpress would be nowhere near where it is now. Period.
So, without selling short my own hard work that I put in today my HOME navigation menu item now has a cozy friend beside it. Please feel free to use my Contact Page and drop me a quick message with any questions, comments or concerns. You can always leave comments on the site as well if you like (ahh Democracy at it’s finest…heheh).
Oh, and one last thing. there is also a Support Forum for CForms II plugin on the web site. Here’s the link: http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-forum/
cheers,
