Steps to making a form on your website where people can email you information....
- Copy the below code.
- Replace the words in bold black with your domain name and your email.
- Replace the words in bold blue with whatever you want that part of the form to say.
- Save it as a .html .
- Upload and you are done.
Note: Make sure you use an email address on the server as you can't use an outside email address for security reasons. You can always use a forwarder to send it to an outside email address as well.
