 * I am trying to add a contact form to a page, but can’t seem to do it. I downloaded
   a plugin from the wordpress site to mine then activated it, clicked on the editor
   under plugins and copied the code that I see there into a page with the HTML 
   view selected. Then I update it. But when I then view the page it is just code
   and not the actual contact form.
 * What might I be doing wrong?

 * Got it to work! I downloaded the plugin to my computer (not the wordpress site),
   found the short code in the Read Me text, pasted that and the contact form worked.
   Thanks for getting me to explore…
