Contact Forms for Blogger
Naturally, blogs include a method of getting in contact with the owner or editor/writer of the site – through comments. However, this isn’t the best method for contacting the owner, especially if you need to give personal details or something that can’t be shared with the entire community.
Some blogs don’t even contain a contact form – they rely solely on comments, but this isn’t an ideal situation should a user encounter a problem with your site (copyright, display issues, and so on). Therefore, it is essential to place some type of contact form on your blog.
Previously, we’ve covered Top 3 Contact Form Plugins for WordPress, but through use of Blogger and other systems, there have been few solutions to adding a contact form seamlessly without having to code the form into a new blog post. The best solution for resolving this problem is using a solution that creates contact forms using HTML or using an off-site solution that gives you some of the same functionality.
Kontactr
Kontactr provides a simple, easy way to create contact forms. All you have to do is use their three-step process to create your very own contact form for your website. They even claim that it’ll take “no more than 10 seconds to sign up.” The service requires that you sign up for an account but this is likely due to the need to add your email address.
When you create the account, you will be able to embed links in your website or blog, which presents a more attractive way for your readers to contact you than through a direct mailto link.
Free Contact Form
This form allows you to implement a fully accessible, spam-free form on your website. It is more than just a contact form, as you can use it for other purposes.
While there is a professional version, you can still use the free version, although it lacks some of the main features of the professional version.
Mailjol.net Contact Form
This site provides a solution that allows you to create various forms. However, I noticed that the styling isn’t the most ideal of all solutions, but is desirable if you want a more contact-like rather than survey-like version.
A number of the key features include: No Ads, Unlimited Questions, Easy Form Creator, Spam Protection, and more.
Wufoo
The Wufoo site presents a clear message: to make forms easy, fast, and fun. You can create contact forms, online surveys, and more with their tool, which doesn’t involve editing or viewing a single line of code. They have several payment options, starting with a free solution (one user, three forms, three reports, and ten fields, up to a hundred entries per month) through an account that allows unlimited forms and reports.
All in all, this service stood out the most for me, not for what is included in the free package, but what you can do with what is at your disposal. Just take a look at their Examples Page.
- Graceful Degradation
- W3C Valid XHTML and CSS
- 508 Accessibility Compliant
- Can be Personalized and Branded with Themes
- Customized Confirmation Messages
- Redirect to Web Page on Confirmation
- Confirmation Email Receipt to user
- … plus hundreds of additional features
Free Contact Forms
A simple, effective solution for creating a brief contact form for your website.
WRASAP
Despite the rather ridiculous acronym for a simple tool, this “Will Reply As Soon As Possible” contact form does one thing – allows you to place a contact form on your website or blog. It sends you an email message with each new comment, and integrates a CAPTCHA-driven spam filter. Essentially, it’s just a customizable webpage with a contact form.
Response-O-Matic
Ideal for people who want an effective solution, this site offers the ability to create a contact form without the need to learn HTML. Simply tell the wizard what you want to see in your form, then copy and paste the code into your website – it’s truly that easy.
The free account is limited but should suit most users.
Odio Works – Custom Feedback Form
A simple and easy-to-use contact form for placing on nearly any site.

Conclusion
If you choose to search elsewhere for contact form plugins or scripts, please be aware that some have more advanced spam protection, better options, and ways to customize the form template to your liking. Not every solution is easy to use nor compatible with every blog platform.

Thanks for the info. I have been recently testing different contact forms.
i heard much about contact forms for wordpress and didn’t hear before that blogger have this option , anyway i can use for my old blogspot i use now .
Great info. Thanks.
Thankyou before this post it was hard to find a good contact form.
I have been using Kontactr for all my Blogger blogs and so far I am satisfied with the support.
I think that these forms can really come in as very handy indeed!
contact page is one of the most important page in a blog. Next maybe only to the about page and rss page.
Hey, i am sorry havent checked but can you suggest me any contact form for wordpress please
I have been using Wufoo contact forms for a while…and its highly satisfactory
Try http://creator.zoho.com/ too.Its a little complex but you can have many options with it and advance it too.
This post seems aimed mostly at non-WordPress users! Convert ye heathens! Convert! Everything is sooo much easier in WordPress!
I need more experience before I tranfer (IF I decide to trasfer) to WP. In my opinion, Blogger is easier and it’s free to use so it is perfect for beginners. I don’t want to use my earnings just to buy a theme and host my blog. Well not yet…
Thank you, writing out your e-mail or having mail to links is unattractive and leads to spam, but not posting e-mail cuts down on the number of opportunities you can get. Thank you for posting ways to get around this problem, I dug the post.
Having your contact page setup is much better than broadcasting your email to the wole world.
Broadcasting your email to the world is an open invite for spammers to flood your inbox with everything from viagra offers to fake degrees. It is definitely prudent to rather set up a contact form.
I think you are right.Some are not sure whether they will be sent properly or not…I had earlier used a contact form which I found out a few days later that it doesn’t send queries properly.
I ave many people contact me asking how to do this exact thing now i can just send them to this post.
in my blogger, i’m using emailmeform
nice info.I’ll create one from my blogspot.Thanks for information
Very useful info.User can check,compare and make their choice.Possibilities are everywhere.
Bloggers now can use IntenseDebate to better manage comments and many other features integrated already.
Thanks!
I am perfectly happy with the WP contact form which keeps getting updated periodically. Anyway, this is useful information. Thank you.
Incidentally 10.4.1 comes with a vastly improved cform with many of the features that you have listed from others.
i still feel…there should be a good contact form for bloggers…. or blogger should design a contact form
I have used the Kontactr and i think thats the best among all above.
Google makes billions a year so how hard is it for them to program Blogger to provide contact forms? They need to implement that into the blog.
Oooo I still see many bloggers without a contact form and I think they are losing alot of potential sales or advertising ops.
It’s free and easy to set up. You should have it done ASAP
Thanks for this information. Actually i was seriously thinking of implementing a contact form for one of my Blogs.
@Ben Pei – I absolutely agree. The only type of contact I have available for viewers is my e-mail address.
This is great info. It is hard to find proper contact form. It is great for follow up.
Thanks for bringing this up. I wish more blog owners would view this. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to get in contact with a blogger, only to find no means of doing it.
Very true. It’s really annoying especially if I want to comment them to do a guest post or something like that.
WAAAAAA…. I don’t really get it !
Hey, I use freecontactform, works great and I never get spam. I will check those others out though.
Is there a free contact form for blogger that culls the data into a database of some sort? Like if I want to do an RSVP or event sign up with every commenter’s email and name in a format that I can manipulate and reply en masse via email.
