 * I need to find out where my unofficial rival blog (Fresh Politics) has found 
   a plugin for this [http://freshpolitics.us/application.php](http://freshpolitics.us/application.php).
   I have wp-contact plugin by Ryan Duff, Firas Durri but I need mine like Fresh
   politics…..Any suggestions?

 * Probably not a plugin at all, but simple PHP form. I use something similar on
   my “contact” page:
    `<form method="POST" action="/blog/contact-form.php"> Name:
   <input type="text" name="name" size="50"/> Email: <input type="text" name="email"
   size="50"/> Comment: <textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea>
   <input type="submit" name="Send" value="send"/> </form>
 * Then contact-form.php handles the actual submission, and properly deals with 
   errors:
 * `<?php
    require_once('./wp-blog-header.php'); $error = ""; $name = (isset($_POST['
   name'])) ? $_POST['name'] : ''; $email = (isset($_POST['email'])) ? $_POST['email']:'';
   if ('' == $name) { $error = "You need to supply a name!"; } elseif ( ('' == $
   email) || (! is_email($email)) ){ $error = "You need to supply a valid email 
   address!"; } elseif ('' == $_POST['message']) { $error = "You didn't say anything!";}
   if ('' == $error) { $headers = 'From: "' . $name . '" <' . $email . '>'; mail('
   skippy@skippy.net', 'Message for you, sir!', stripslashes($_POST['message']),
   $headers); } // now we say thanks, or explain the error message get_header();
   get_sidebar(); echo "<div id='content' class='narrowcolumn'><div class='post'
   >"; if ('' != $error) { echo "<h3 class='storytitle'>Whoops!</h3>"; echo "There
   seems to have been an error with your submission: "; echo "<p style='color: #
   B84A00; text-align: center;'>" . $error . " "; echo "Would you care to try again?";}
   else { echo "<h3 class='storytitle'>Thanks!</h3>"; echo "Your message has been
   sent. I'll read it just as soon as I can. "; } echo "</div></div>"; get_footer();?

 * It should be trivial to expand the above to include the details you require.
