Create a Contact Page on BloggerOne of the most recent features that I’ve added to some of our Blogger themes is a “built in” Contact Page. This option allows our customers to add a professional looking Contact Page on Blogger by copying and pasting a bit of provided code.
Having a professional-looking Contact Page with a contact form, rather than a widget in the sidebar or just a “email me” link on a page, can take your blog to the next level. A Contact Page can help you:
Connect with your readers
Connect with brands and sponsors
Connect with other bloggers who might want to collaborate
Acquire leads if you offer services
How to Create a Contact Page on Blogger
So, I’m going to teach you 2 ways to add a Contact Page to Blogger. The first method uses the native Blogger contact widget. This method is great because it’s easy to set up and you don’t have to sign up for any outside services or apps. The main limit is that you can’t add any extra fields or use an email other than the email associated with your Blogger account.
The second method shows you a free service you can use to embed a custom form into your site and receive emails at any email address you want.
So, let’s get started and add a Contact Page to your Blogger site.
Method 1: Native Blogger Contact Widget
This method uses the default Blogger Contact Widget. But rather than placing it in the sidebar, we’re going to add it to a page for a much more professional look.
Step 1: Add Widget to Sidebar
Login to your Blogger Dashboard.
Go to the Layout page.
In a sidebar area, click the Add a gadget link.Create a Contact Page Blogger
In the Add a gadget popup, click on the More gadgets link.
To add the Contact Form to your widget area, click the blue plus icon.Create a Contact Page Blogger
In the Configure Contact Form Widget popup window, you can ignore the widget title.
If you’re using one of the newest default Blogger templates, you may see a checkbox option that says “Visible – Show contact form”. If you see this option, check it. If you don’t see this option, don’t worry about it, we will take care of this with some code.Create a Contact Page Blogger
Click the Save button to save your widget.
Step 2: Hide the Widget
If your widget has the “Visibility – Show contact form” option, skip this step.
On the Blogger Dashboard, go to the Theme page.
