Dear WordPressonians,
Given the spammy state of things lately, I've decided to make a contact form, so that people can send me comments within my blog, instead of giving out my email address for my blog.
I finally got the form all sussed, and even put it up as a post.
And then all heck broke loose.
I cannot find the answers to the following questions:
1) Where do I put this contact form?
I was planning on putting it on the bottom of many posts and at the end of most pages.
For some reason, I thought any contact page I made had a link that was built into the WP post form and the page form— much like regular comments, shares, or likes are built into the post/page forms.
2) If I made this thing up in my head about the contact forms and posts/pages, where/how do make that contact form available for posts and pages?
Should I just add a link at the bottom of each post? (That seems rather clunky.)
What about pages?
Oh my gosh, I am so confused!
3) My friend M. already sent me a HILARIOUS comment via the contact form. (The one I put up as a single post, remember?) And I cannot figure out how to respond to M.!
When I go to "feedbacks" in the dashboard all I can see are two buttons where I can delete her comment or report it as spam. I would like to reply to M.'s comment. Very much so!
How or where can I respond to M.'s comment about the kittens and the Cylons?
From my email? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a contact form obscuring my email information?
I appreciate any and all help or links you can offer on this specific subject. The comment form thing, I mean. Not the kittens and Cylons thing.
Thanks bunches,
Courtenay Bluebird
