    I was wondering if there was a way to add default text to certain text boxes (i.e. in the Name box the text: ‘Please use full name’ would automatically appear until the person either fills in the info or deletes the text)? I know that some fields are auto filled in, but I’d like to add some instructional text without extending the title. Thanks in advance.

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

    All you can do in the way of customization is stated here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ If it’s not stated there then you cannot include it in the customization of the form.

    You can add lines of formatted (color, bold, italic) text between parts of the contact form.
