    Description: Just another contact form plugin. Simple but flexible.

    and now i would like to create a page with the form

    i have tried copying the code into the edit window but when i view in the browser the page shows only the code

    as i want to use other plugins it would be good to understand how to make this work
    sorry to be thick but has anyone got any ideas on how to make this work?
