 * Hello,
    I can’t see what I’m typing when I put Contact Form 7 on my website, 
   I can only see my text if I drag my mouse across the text, do I have to fix that
   with CSS or?

 * This is probably due to CSS styling applied to standard HTML form elements within
   your current WordPress theme.
 * To change the style of your CF7 forms you would need to edit the CSS style sheets
   used by your WordPress theme.
 * See [Styling Contact Form](http://contactform7.com/styling-contact-form/) for
   a general explanation of styling CF7 forms using CSS.
 * There is a link at the bottom of the page to a comprehensive and detailed article
   on **Styling Contact Form 7 Forms**. The article shows people, with suitable 
   HTML & CSS skills, how to change the appearance of their Contact Form 7 Forms
   to meet their particular requirements.
