How to add a contact form In WordPress

Adding contact form in WordPress blogs are pretty much is easier than in Blogger. Though there are so many WordPress contacts from plugins, here in my blog. I use a plugin called Contact form 7. The advantage of Contact form 7 is that here we can add options to include captcha, allow users to upload files, add quiz, radio buttons, text, etc . WordPress 2.8 users can install contact from 7 via the plugin installer. After installation, move on to form settings ( Click on Contact from bottom left side) . There will be a form, contact form1 created by default. Next step is to create a new blog page. Create a new page and name it contact or whatever you want. Now copy the brown underlined code in contact form1, paste it to the new page created and publish. You will see the new contact form on page refresh. Messages will be sent to the email address provided during WordPress installation. Further you can enhance the basic form by adding captcha security and option to upload files to blog administrator.
