How To Create A Guest Post Form In Blogger ?

In my previous tutorial i had described you "How to create a guest post form using Google drive/docs ?", but i have faced some problems after using that form such as there is no email option i.e. if we create a field asking for email address then users can enter anything in that field that may be their name, numbers etc. Also there is another problem, when somebody posts a guest post using Google's form then we get it in a spreadsheet, which is annoying because we have to arrange the entire article.

The above mentioned problems made me to search for a better alternative and after some search i have finally found its alternative, which is quiet better and has many different features as compared to Google docs. The new alternative is JotForm, Jotform is a website that provides you an opportunity to create a form as per your requirement and the best thing it provides you two options, one is free storage up to 100 mb per month and i think that is enough for collecting guest posts and other is cheap paid option for those who require more space.

With this new alternative, i think you can create a much better user friendly form that not only help you but is also helpful for your blog users. This new alternative also helps you to collect the information as provided by user that is, you don't need arrange it which is always annoying, you just have to copy and paste their posts to your blog.

So now, i think i have described you everything about this new alternative and its time to describe you the steps to create and add this form to blogger.
