  I am trying to set up my blog. I have a widget for e-mail subscriptions, but also want to include a widget for readers to e-mail me directly. I see that suggested but don’t see the widget for it. Can you help me?

  Thank you for the reply. I’m still a little confused though. I wanted to have the e-mail form as a widget in the sidebar. This forms looks as if it shows up on the page in the mail part of the blog. Am I missing something?

  Once you have created a contact form, you can copy-paste the code that’s generated by it and insert it into a text widget:

  That way, you can have your contact form in the sidebar.
