Making a contact form

A few days a go, after Kang Rohman wrote about Contact Us in this blog, there are many e-mails that ask on how to make a contact form like this blog’s contact form. Hmmm..do I still remember it? I think I forget because I didn’t write the steps when I was making it. Well, readers, just a minute and let me remember it ok

Before adding the contact form in your blog, it is better for you to consider the good things and bad things of adding the contact form. One of the good things of adding contact form is to ease the visitors to send you e-mails. And the bad things about it are people or your visitors are easy to send you e-mails. The consequence is that you have to be ready to receive a lot of e-mails in your inbox and spare your time to answer their e-mails, right? In this opportunity, Kang Rohman also would like to say sorry if Kang Rohman haven’t been able to respond your emails because Kang Rohman don’t have much time to respond all emails in Kang Rohman inbox.

Where can we gat Contact Form? In the Internet, there are many websites that give this facilities. Some websites give free facilities but some give free facilities. And as a future fortune teller, Kang Rohman knows that you want the free one, don’t you?
