 * Hello,
    I’ve just installed this plugin, and from everything posted, it looks
   great and exactly what I need. But I am struggling to get the google form I’ve
   made look professional inside of my website.
 * Is there any step-by-step guide for someone who is not a developer?
 * Thank you in advance for any help and advice that you can give!

 * There isn’t a step-by-step guide per se. The plugin installation instructions
   outline how to set up the plugin and get it working which it sounds like you’ve
   done.
 * Making your form “look” good can be simple – it just works, to fairly complex–
   yikes, it looks terrible. Where your form lands on this scale is largely due 
   to how your theme is set up and there are about a million ways to build a theme.
 * Unfortunately there isn’t a “one size fits all” recipe for making your form look
   good. A lot of it is trial and error and a tool like FireBug, with it’s ability
   to modify or insert CSS, is invaluable.
 * If you look through the support forum there are quite a few queries regarding
   the required asterisk appearing below the label instead of adjacent to it. This
   is probably the most common support request I see and the answer isn’t always
   the same but does usually involve setting the block to display:inline. But the
   CSS selectors are usually different.
 * I have a [Help and Support Form](http://bit.ly/wpgform) where people can solicit
   help with their particular problem and I also answer them here on the forum. 
   I try to answer them as quickly as possible but real work and real life sometimes
   means it takes me a few days to see it.
