You may have noticed that this morning I added an animated ‘Ask David’ banner in my sidebar. What is Ask David? Well, it’s a new way for my readers to submit questions to me, an ultimately get a free link back in return.

Once or twice a week, depending on question volume, I will select a few questions to answer and post on my blog. If your question is chosen to be featured on my blog, I will give you a free link. That’s just my little way of saying ‘thank you’ for providing me with blogging material. And you never know, maybe my answers will help you and other readers. It’s really a win-win situation.

So I set up a new contact form on my contact page. This is how readers will submit their questions. I set up a specific email account to receive the ‘Ask David’ questions. So if you send it to me through some other medium, I won’t get it. You have to use the contact form.

For my form, I decided to use the Secure and Accessible PHP Contact Form v.2.0WP for WordPress (versions 2.0 and later). After looking around it seemed to be one of the better plugins. I’ve already tested it, and it works great. The plugin is very easy to set up. It comes with about 15 different styles to choose from, and lets you configure everything via the admin panel. No messing with code. It has a built in spam blocker and an option to send carbon copies.

I hope this ‘Ask David’ feature is a success. It all depends on you, the readers, to work. So if you have any questions… personal or business related, send them to me. I don’t care if you ask ‘Why is the sky blue?’. You never know what questions I will select to feature.
