    Hello guys,

    I am totally in the dark when it comes to using wordpress and really don't know how to code any html. I purchased this blog a few years ago and have wrote some articles and it has stayed around a PR3 the entire time.

    What I am wanting to do is create some post with forms in them to get feedback from my traffic (create leads). I want to be able to rename each field and add as many fields to the form as I want.

    Any direction on where I can go to learn this or a plugin that does this for me.

    Thanks!

    Luke

    also try www.gravityforms.com

    You can create some real advanced forms.

    For example on one of my blogs, I have people submitting press releases and gravity forms allow the creation of a post which is set to draft, user can upload images which go into media gallery, so all I have to do is go into the post, make sure the post is okay and then publish.

    SIMPLE!!!

    Its totally insane and I wonder how I survived so many years manually coding forms.

    my favorite is cforms, very simple to use allow redirect after submission. Having said that I have used contact form 7 for along time but it is not as versatile as cforms, though if you need something simple Contact form 7 would be the way to go
