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

  That is how the code should look within your editor. It is placed within the body of the post, so you will see this code until you publish. Do you see this code after you publish it? If so, could you please link to the post with this problem? I looked at your site and could not find a contact form on any page I viewed.

  Many thanks for taking the trouble to point this out. Now it works! I did not see anywhere in the instructions or the tutorial that a person has to publish it before it is seen as it should be – but then I am feeling my way with this WordPress thing and am something of a dilettante.
  Thanks again
