Part 1: Adding & Hiding Contact Widget [Blogger Contact Form]
Part 1 is tedious. You have to first add a Contact Widget to your blog & then have to hide it. It’s a little confusing, but following the below steps you can easily do it:
1. In your Blogger dashboard, visit the Layout section.
2. Click on Add a Gadget in the sidebar & add Contact Form widget.
After you successfully added Contact Form widget to your Blog Sidebar follow the next two steps:
3. Click on Template from the left menu & next Edit HTML.
4. Now in the Edit HTML page, you have to click on “Jump to Widget” and then select “Contact Form 1” from the list of Widgets.
5. After you Hit Contact Form 1, you will be directed to the HTML code of Contact Form widget. Next, you have to delete the Contact form code from the HTML.
6. You have to delete the code between <b:includable id=’main’> and </b:includable>. You can take the help of below screenshot!
The code between <b:includable id=’main’> and </b:includable> looks similar to the below code:
<b:include name='widget-title'/> <b:include name='content'/> </b:includable> <b:includable id='content'> <b:include name='widget-title'/> <b:include name='content'/> </b:includable> <b:includable id='content'> <div class='contact-form-widget'> <div class='form'> <form name='contact-form'> <p/> <data:crmNameMsg/> <br/> <input class='contact-form-name' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_contact-form-name"' name='name' size='30' type='text' value=''/> <p/> <data:contactFormEmailMsg/> <span style='font-weight: bolder;'>*</span> <br/> <input class='contact-form-email' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_contact-form-email"' name='email' size='30' type='text' value=''/> <p/> <data:contactFormMessageMsg/> <span style='font-weight: bolder;'>*</span> <br/> <textarea class='contact-form-email-message' cols='25' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_contact-form-email-message"' name='email-message' rows='5'/> <p/> <input class='contact-form-button contact-form-button-submit' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_contact-form-submit"' expr:value='data:contactFormSendMsg' type='button'/> <p/> <div style='text-align: center; max-width: 222px; width: 100%'> <p class='contact-form-error-message' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_contact-form-error-message"'/> <p class='contact-form-success-message' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_contact-form-success-message"'/> </div> </form> </div> </div>

Achi jankari Di thanks
thanks
Well-done. I’m just starting up a new blog and this really helps me to make my blog look professional. Thanks once more
Hello, thanks for this but I tried it with another gadget but the message is not sending to any of my emails.
After inserting the contact form, I used a different email and a gadget to open my blog. Then I tried using the contact form and it isn’t sending to my blog email, pls what can I do?
Hi Richard, you might be getting the emails in Spam folder of your mailbox. It might be because the another email that you’re using seems spam to Gmail. You should try sending emails with a Gmail account and from another device. Hope it helps!
