This contact form is far better to communicate with your user .This contact form is brought to you by Kontactr. People can contact you without Leaving the Page. When the People leave a message in the contact form you will receive it in the form of email. Using Kontactr is Free.To get a contact form for yourself to embed in your blog or website, sign up for an account. After verification and login, you will have 2 scripts (code of widget) for embedding. One is HTML code and one is AJAX. I recommend you use the AJAX code as it is simpler and you will have less work. Instructions forAJAX will be given below.

1) Sign in to Blogger.

2) On the Blogger Dashboard, click on the NEW POST link of the blog.

3) After open Blogger Post Editor, click Edit Html.

4) Now, You can either copy-paste direct the AJAX code into your Blogger post editor window and publish post.

Remove and Hide NavBar in Blogger Widget Template

2009-03-02T06:17:00.000-08:00

Google’s Blogger automatically inserts a promotional navigation toolbar called Blogger Navbar on the top of every blogspot blog. This Blogger Navbar is 50 px high and is distinctly visible as it covers the entire width of your browser. This Navbar acts as a stumbler allowing people to stumble across blogs. It also features a search bar which returns results relevant to your blog in blogspot. However, it does not blend well with Blogger themes with only Blue, Tan, Black and Silver as available options besides taking away valuable visitors from your Blogspot Blog.

Therefore, No many visitors nor bloggers themselves may find it useful though. Most of want to hide the navigation bar in blogger , but we don't know how to do that. Never wonder here is a simple trick to hide the navigation bar in blogger.

Remove and Hide NavBar in Blogger Widget Template:

1. Sign in to Blogger.

2. On the Blogger Dashboard, click on the Layout link of the blog that you want to disable its NavBar. You can also click Customize on NavBar while visiting your blog.

3. Under the Layout tab, click on Edit HTML tab to view the template’s HTML code.

4. Search for the following line of code:

]]>

Before the line, add in the following line of code:

#navbar { display: none; }

or:

#navbar-iframe { display: none !important; }

5. Click on SAVE TEMPLATE to make the change effective.

Creating a blog using Blogger(blogspot)

2009-01-31T09:52:00.000-08:00

Creating a website in Blogger (Blogspot) is absolutely free. You can create an account using your gmail account or using any other email address. Using a gmail account requires less steps though, since you already have an account with Google (Google owns blogger). In addition, using a gmail account means that all your other google services are interlinked with your blog management system, you can instantly be singed-in to your blog management system when you are singed-in your gmail account.

The main features of blogger:

It's free
The interface is simple to use
It has an automatic save function
It has a spell-check feature
Hosted in Google's server and there is no limitation of bandwidth
There is no limitation of storage
You can run your blog on a subdomain of Blogger
1 GB photo storage using Picasa
Unlimited video storage using YouTube
Templates are provided, but you can customize them
You can use AdSense ads on your blog
Forty-one languages are supported
Mobile blogging is supported
Group blogging is supported
Blogger allows you to use your own paid domain

So, I would recommend you to use blogger service and this is the service I'm using to host my blogs. Just go to blogger.com and click "Create your blog now." You will be sent to a page to create a Google account.

If you already have a Gmail account, you can click "Sign in." if you haven’t already create an email account with Google. This is extremely easy to do and only takes about 2/3 min. Then set a password and click "Continue." Your email address will be your new google account.

Now on the blog creation page, fill out the name of your page and the address you want to set as the blog url. Your blog address will be yourname.blogspot.com, so use a nice address which is short and easily memorable. Then continue to next page and there you can select a template for your blog.
