  Since you can’t upload files via ftp, does anyone know how to make a custom contact form. The plugin that wordpress has only allows the text fields to be entered directly below one another. Im trying to mimic something like this: http://uppermerionhomes(DOT)com/cma.htm

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

  Thanks for that. I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance because I do not know how to help you. Another Volunteer may answer prior to Staff but I tagged the thread so it will not fall through the cracks and escape attention. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately I’m having trouble viewing the link you provided. Can you share with me a screenshot of the contact form you’d like to mimic?

  Take a Screenshot

  The good news is, the WordPress.com Business bundle you recently purchased comes with the Custom Design upgrade, and this might just be the answer you’re looking for. With the upgrade, you get pretty advanced tools to customize your blog’s appearance, including your contact forms.

  If you can get back to me with the screenshots, I’d be happy to assist you in styling your contact forms. Thanks and best wishes!

  Hi Steve!

  Thanks for screenshot! That’s a little bit more complicated than what I expected. ;)

  Alternatvely, you may want to consider looking at Wufoo.com. It’s an online service that lets you create some really attractive contact forms that you can embed them into your WordPress.com blog. They allow you to create up to 3 forms for free.
