 * Hi,
 * I’m having a designed problem in the “message” box.
    As you can see [http://www.alanaandkyra.com/contact/](http://www.alanaandkyra.com/contact/)
   two lines appear in that box.
 * The code I’ve used was
    <p>NAME * [text* name] </p>
 * <p>EMAIL *
    [email* email] </p>
 * <p>SUBJECT
    [text subject] </p>
 * <p>MESSAGE *
    [text* message] </p>
 * <p>[submit “Send”]</p>
 * If you could help me it’d be amazing!
 * Thanks again.
 * Best regards,
    Carla

 * This is 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.
