Are you a blogger having a contact page on your blog page, and been having your email address display? If you can take a look to the type of messages you are receiving, you might have been receiving a SPAM messages. But you have been looking for a way out. Yes there is a hope now you don't need to delete your email and not receiving direct message from your readers. People that was my blog are asking me how I integrate a contact form into my blog and how I
integrate a advertising form into my blog, but now I have to share this with you all.
Blogger don't give any contact forms for their blogs, so we need to create one and integrate it by ourselves. But before any other thing, you have to know that many of the forms webmaster are using are been designed using PHP, ASP, CGI, HTML etc and it is possible if your site is hosted on your own web server. Since Blogger is just a blogging platform and does not give users access to the actual server, adding such a form is out of question. But nevertheless, with the third party tools you can add a contact form to your blogger blog just like any there website.
There are many contact from providers but i will go for ZOHO Creator and KONTACTR because it's easy.
With KONTACTR:
Start create your form on KONTACTR
