Three Stylish Customized Blogger Contact Forms

Important: All scripts hosted on widcraft.googlecode.com don't work anymore because Google has blocked that SVN repository.

Yesterday, I posted a couple of articles about Blogger's new contact form widgets. First, I showed you how to add this widget to your Blog's sidebar, then I showed you how to add this form to a specific page of your blog.

It's time for me to share three stylish customized designs for Blogger's new contact form widget. All three designs are coded with some really simple CSS, and they look really great on your blog's sidebar and pages.

First, I'll showcase three stylish designs with their CSS, then I'll show how to add them on your blog.
