Create a contact page to show on all sub blogs

I want to create a contact page that is automatically sent to the sub blog’s admin’s email. I want the page to be created automatically when the user signs up for their blog. Any ideas? Is there a plugin I can use? I don’t want to make people activate plugins on their individual blogs to work . . . I’m trying to make this a sign-up and go sort of site. Thanks,

Andrea

    Perhaps it is worth looking at what you are trying to do from another angle as there may be a better or different solution. Can you tell us a bit more about why you want a contact form automatically set up on a page of each blog?

    The websites are for real estate agents of a brokerage. Since most of these agents are NOT tech savvy, I just need a click and go website with standard content for each of them. I plan to use “blog templates” to recreate a general site that I’m just finishing setting up (you can see it at http://prgagent.com).

    I would like to have two contact forms set up – one “register” form that will email the blog administrator of a user’s email address for a subscription to email news. If you look at the site as designed now, there is a “sign up for email news” form field at the top of the page. Ideally I would like that “Go” button to take the registrant to another form where they will fill out just a few more fields (not on the home page for design reasons) like: name, email, interest (check box with two or three options), and probably a captcha for spam. Once filled out, that form would then email to the blog administrator’s email, saying: %SoANDSo% would like to receive email notifications — or something to that effect.

    The second will be a general contact form on a contact page, with form fields for: name, phone, email, website, message (text area), and (ideally) captcha to prevent spam. This would also go directly to the blog admin’s email.

    So – I need two forms to automatically pull the blog admin’s email in the php code for the mailto.

    I’d think it wouldn’t be that hard, but turns out – it seems it is!!
