    try and use something like this

    <FORM method="post" action="mailto:noone@snai1mai1.com" enctype="text/plain">

    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email">

    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="web_monitor">
    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="subject">

    (rest of form content)

    </FORM>

    the method should be post and the encrypt type should be text/plain

    input name="email" and input name="subject" are special tags because they control the way the headers look in your email inbox input name="email" is the from: and subject is, of course the subject

    As you may have noticed there are two subject tags in the example html source code above, one text and one hidden

    using the html form code above, emails arriving in your inbox should look like this example

    FROM: SUBJECT: web_monitor, users subject

    The web_monitor subject prefix will allow you to clearly see, at a glance that the email has been sent from your website

    I use a plugin called Cforms, it does look complicated at first, but thats mainly because it has so many options, but you can setup a really basic contact form with it.

    I would also recommend you to install a plugin if you are using wordpress.

    I use this WP plug in http://green-beast.com/blog/?page_id=136.

    I like it because it is easy to customize the drop down menu for "subject" with what ever you want, and it has a few different themes so you can change the color and style to match your blog.

    I use it on 3 different blogs...works like a charm :)

    Use actively developed plugins for your wordpress needs. Especially something as simple as a contact form.

    You can figure out if it is actively developed by checking out when the latest version was released, and also the version prior.

    Check out this plug-in for a contact form: http://green-beast.com/blog/?page_id=136

    -- Woops... already linked to.... well it's good anyway.

    I highly recommend you use Cforms as well, I recently started using it and found it was pretty easy to set up for a standard contact form and an opt in form.

    Another vote for Cforms, I use it and it works well.

    As for uploading, you'll need an FTP program or just go through your web hosting control panel, they usually have an FTP/upload facility.

    I am assuming you have some sort of FTP program to upload and edit files with to your server, or virtual server.
    When you download the file, you need to unzip it, and install it into your plug ins folder of the theme.

    You'll need the FTP username & password, plus the host name. Your friend should have these details, otherwise you wont be able to use a plugin, you'll probably have to add a page from within Wordpress control panel and use html for your form.
