How Do I Add A Contact Form On WordPress.com?
Q: How Do I Add A Contact Form On WordPress.com?
A: On the standard version of WordPress.com your only built in option is to use the “[contact-form]” short code.
To do this, place “[contact-form]” (without the quotes) in your page where you’d like it to appear and save it.
Once saved you’ll see a form show up that looks similar to your standard comments form. Note that this will look differently to anyone who is logged into WordPress.com.
WordPress.com Contact Form (logged in view)
WordPress.com Contact Form (logged out view)
If that doesn’t suit your needs and you’re after a more customizable solution you’ll need to look for hosted form solutions of which there are various options. And of course, you can always opt to go the self-hosted WordPress.org route.

It appears that you’re running WordPress on your own server, and not a WordPress.com hosted account, correct? If so, you should grab a plugin like Contact Form 7 and use that instead.
