Blogger recently launches some new official widgets like contact form widget and Wikipedia search box
widget. In this post we will discuss all the details of contact form
widget and also learn how to add this official contact form widget to
your blogger blog.
What is this contact form widget ?
I think there is no need to define contact form widget. We all know that through a contact form visitors of blog can ask any private questions or queries to the owner of that blog without disclosing their identity to public. In this way a contact form acts as a private tunnel for the conversation between the blog users and owner of the blog. This is the brief introduction to the contact form. We all know that in the past blogger lacks this contact form. We need to visit third party websites for adding contact form to our blogger blogs but recently blogger launched their amazing light weight contact form widget. This widget can be easily integrated into your blog in just few seconds.What are the advantages of this new contact form widget ?
1. Easy installation :
Installation of this widget is very easy. You can install it on your blog in just few seconds and with no efforts. It requires no coding skills. Other third party contact forms can be implemented by installing their code on our blog which is difficult task for new blogger users but this problem is completely solved by this new widget.2. No third party code :
Third party contact forms requires their own code to be implemented on our blog for their proper working. This third party code concept is completely removed in the new contact form widget by blogger.3. Direct message delivery :
This widget delivers the message directly in your mailbox. When someone sends message using this contact form then the message will deliver to our inbox in seconds.4. Clean design :
It has a clean design which makes it more attractive and fast in loading. Due its clean design it does not effect overall loading speed of your blog.What are the disadvantages of this new widget ?
1. No sender`s email info
It does not provide any information about the email address of the sender of message. The messages sent the by senders are first captured by the blogger then they are retransmitted to our email address. Thus ultimately we did not receive the sender`s email address.2. No static page integration support
Till now there is no support is provided by blogger to integrate this contact form to your blog`s static pages. You can only add this contact form as a widget in your`s blogs sidebar, footer or any where in the blog`s layout but not in the static pages like a normal contact form.Adding new contact form widget to blogger blog :
