This is a guide on how you can add a guest post form, or any other kind of form, to your website or blog. Guest posting has been a big part of the blogging world for a while now and it’s something that can really help your blog, so I highly recommend that you add a guest post form. To help you do that, I will explain how I and many others, have used the same form creator to make this happen. The form service is called Wufoo, and they specialize in creating customizable form layouts. The entire process is very easy and the end result looks clean and professional. Wufoo.com offers many different ways to implement the form onto your website or blog and there is a free package, with limited, but it has enough features to add a guest post form, or even a “contact us” form, to your blog.
Guest Post Form: Register and create
Go to Wufoo.com and sign up, after that you can create a new form.
Go to our Guest Post page to get some inspiration on how to format the guest post form.
Add it to your website or blog and the submissions will be displayed in your Wufoo.com form manager.
WordPress plugin
Wufoo offers many different ways to add the guest post form to your blog or website. You can link to the form, which makes it open in a new window, hosted on wufoo.com. Or, you can embed the code in a post, on a page or in a widget. By either using javascript, an iframe or the plugin available to many different CMS’s, like WordPress, Joomla and Drupal to name a few.
WordPress Note: When you’re done with the form and are in the Form Code Manager, you simply click on Embed Form Code, in the menu. Select & copy the WordPress Shortcode at the bottom and paste it in a newly created page, hit save and you’re done.
