Contact Form On Your Blog
Contact page is very important, but you shouldn’t put your email address on your contact page. Spammers use software that crawls the web searching for e-mail addresses. When they find e-mail address, they put it in their database and your inbox will be flooded with spam messages. Some people write email like “myname at myprovider.com”. Email crawlers wouldn’t recognize it as e-mail, and can’t use it, but it looks quite unprofessional. It is much better and more professional to have contact form on your blog.
Fortunately, there is an excellent Wordpress plugin called cforms that will help you to easely install contact form on a contact page.
