Copy it from thesacredpath's post and paste it onto a Page (title it Contact or something like that) and it should work.

Log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and go to the form page while NOT logged in and you will see the fields.

I tried pasting this in HTML as you suggested. What showed up was a large blank box and the submit button on the bottom but no field boxes. Should there be? Also, if and when I do figure this out (!) will the replies in the contact form be visible to other site visitors, or just to me? TX!

Also, turn comments off for that page otherwise there will be two text boxes, one for the contact form and one for comments and it will confuse your visitors.
