How To Add Contact Us Page In Blogger/Blogspot
Have you ever seen an advertise with us page on a popular blog?
What have you seen there in the advertise with us page?
According to me, you should have seen some statistics of the blog and a contact us widget. If an advertiser visits the advertise with us page, he/she will use the contact form to contact the blogger.
One of your visitors faced an issue with your blog like:
The tutorial you said isn’t working, Your website is loading slowly, He is facing problems with the pop-ups. So the visitor needs your email to contact you. For this purpose, we should add a contact us page in Blogger blog.
In this tutorial, We are going to show you ” How to add a contact form to blogger pages ”.
This tutorial includes three steps. But don’t worry, it isn’t hard, all you need to do is follow each and every step carefully and you can easily setup a contact us page in your Blogger blog.
1. Adding contact form to the sidebar
To add the contact form to your pages like ” contact us “, ” advertise with us “, we need to add the contact form to the sidebar and later move it to the page we need.
1. Go to Blogger.com and click on the layout of your desired blog.
2. On the sidebar, Click on Add a gadget
3. A pop-up appears asking you to select a widget. There click on more widgets and click on the contact form.
4. Click on save.
Hoorah, you have successfully added a Contract form to the sidebar of your blog and this is the time to move it away from the sidebar.
2. Hiding the contract form
With Blogger, we don’t have any option to move widgets from the sidebar to Pages. In WordPress, there are many plugins like Contact form 7, which gives you short codes and you can paste the short code anywhere in your blog and the contact form appears.
So, We will hide the contact form from the sidebar and move it away into Pages.
1. Go to Blogger.com and click on template
2. Click on Edit HTML
3. Search for ]]</b:skin>
4. Just above the ]]</b:skin>, paste the below code :
div#ContactForm1 {
display: none !important; }
display: none !important; }
The code is written on CSS and it will tell Blogger not to display the widget named ( Contact form ). As we hav already added contact form in the step-1, it would be automatically hidden.
3. Add contact us page in Blogger
Now, We will add the contact form to blogger pages.
1. Go to blogger.com and click on pages and click on Add new
2. Give the page a title like Contact Us or me
3. Click on HTML of page editor, Paste the below code in the content box.
