Contact form widget in Blogger blogs - a new feature!

Hello😊
Blogger has added a new 'Contact form widget' for Blogspot blogs.

I added the new Contact form widget from the Blogger widgets collection. It is very convenient and easy to install.

How did I install it?

First I signed in to Blogger and reached my Blogger dashboard. 
Then I clicked open my first blog listed there.
Next, I clicked on the Layout tab on the left-hand side.
On the right-hand side of the Layout page, I found the blue colored Add a Gadget link. Clicked it open.
It opened a pop-up Add a Gadget window.
Clicked More Gadgets tab below the Basics, on the left-hand side.
There it is... listed as first, Contact Form, developed by third-party developers for Blogger.
Clicked on the plus sign on the right-hand side, at the end of that window.
Another window opened with the title Configure Contact form widget. 
Clicked the orange colored Save button seen on the left-hand side at the bottom.
Saved it and then viewed the blog again.
Done!

The page element may be rearranged if needed, by dragging it to the desired position. I fixed it at the top of the sidebar.

I wanted the title Contact form text in italics. Edited the text, Contact form, in the Configure Contact form widget page like this by adding the HTML syntax for italics <i>

<i>Contact Form</i>

Saved it after the HTML edit.

Similarly, I added the form to my other blog too.

It is better to add a Contact form so that readers can communicate without resorting to the comment form writings all the time. The message will reach our registered email.

There is no Captcha for this Blogger Contact form, but I think it is okay. Also, the messages, by default will reach our registered email ie Gmail only.
