  When I add a contact form and preview it, all of my admin information is filling in the fields. Why is this happening? Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Not to worry. That is only because you are viewing the form as a logged in WordPress.com user. If you log out of your account and view the page, you will see that the fields are blank. If I viewed the page, I would see my own information pre-filled in.

  Thank you for the reply and info! That’s fine–but I’m curious about why it does that. And why does the URL for one of my other blogs show in the field instead of the one I’m on. Again, I understand that it doesn’t matter–but I don’t follow the reasoning behind why it’s there then.

  Thanks again!

  Just to make things easier for WordPress.com users who are using forms on other WordPress.com blogs.

  And remember, none of that is permanent. If you were using someone’s contact form, you could change any of the prefilled info before submitting the form.

  Ah, I see — that makes sense! I hadn’t thought of that. :o) As you can tell, I haven’t spent much time on blogs before. ;o)

  Thanks again for your support — much appreciated!
