  Dear all,
  The contact form on my blog is somehow not looking good.

  There are problems with the line structure. Will anyone help me with this?

  It’s looking bad because the areas are of necessity quite narrow and you need to use fewer for each field descriptions. These are really meant to be quite simple contact forms.

  Sorry, that should have read ‘you need to use fewer words for each field description or question’.

  Is there any other way to get around this? I need to use those many words for each field description.
  Any other form available?
  Thanks.

  You can’t correct it yourself, because it’s a bad choice in the design of the theme you’re using: the width of text fields is limited to 300px and the width of the accompanying text is limited to a mere 100px. You should post in the Themes forum and suggest that WP change this.
