 * I don’t understand what is meant by assigning a default author who can’t publish
   or edit. Nor do know what is meant by the message which says my key is unreckognized,
   or why my form editing option doesn’t open, or why the option to allow the post
   author exclusive editing access is not accesible.
    Anyone else having these issues?
   Or know of any information about how to set up? I don’t even see anything anywhere
   about registering a valid key…

 * I am not familiar with this plugin I used [Fast Secure Contact Form](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-contact-form/)
 * I just wanted to let you know that i believe, “my key is unreckognized” is referring
   to your Akismet key. You must have an account and receive a valid key. You then
   enter this into a field in your form admin area.

 * Thanks, I did finally discovery what that meaasge was about. I think I’ll try
   the plug in you recomended though. This one is telling me I don’t have access
   to some of the settings, and I’m an admin! crazy.

 * If you decide to use [Fast Secure Contact Form](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-contact-form/)
   it has an amazing depth of control and styling options, including having multiple
   forms that are different.
 * My site is not complete yet but my contact form is, you can see it here, [WholeThinking, The Conversation.](http://wholethinking.com/the-conversation/)
 * I do not come to the forums everyday, but if you post questions in this thread
   I will informed via email. Happy to answer question about how to manipulate this
   plugin.

 * I actually discovered Quick Post Widget, it’s great for my purpose. You know 
   the mini form is really cool though if you can get it working, I did at one point.
   Still, QPW is way simpler, all the settings are in the widget.
