free contact me form generator for blogger

If you try to make a "Contact Us/Me" page so that visitors can give you feedback, suggestions and advice. There are a few things you should know.

A simple <a href="mailto:name@host"></a> tag will be harvested by malicious crawls, then, spam!

An HTML based form may take the visitor away from your blog when the form is submitted.

That's why there are many websites, which allow blogger to create fully customized form in a spam safe way. The following are some free "Contact Me/US" form provider I used in my blogs.

EmailMeForm.com : not only lets you to customize and embed the form, but also let you change the landing page after submit!
Jotform.com : they provide very stylish forms, if you are good at css hacking, this site is good for you.

Kontactr : another form provider, sometimes I get javascript error when loading the contact me page.

If you are an road fighter who spend most of the time using PDA or smartphone to access the internet and you want to do some programming, the online compilers are your savior.

Java/Applet : this online Java development IDE provide basic java file compiling and .jar file download, you can program in the text area, download the .jar file, then upload the file to your website.

multiple Languages online compiler (C/C++/Java/VB/C#) : this is an all-in-one pack, the user interface is similar to Eclipse. Since Javascript library is behind this web application, I doubt most mobile phones can use it, but it is still useful if you are serfing the internet at public computers.
