I'm trying to write an email for foe hosting on my domain. The code visually looks correct to me, but when I test it, it opens a new outlook email message window, blank aside from the email address the form points to. to view it in a page go to http://helpless-laughter.net/?page_id=262. The code is as follows:

That type of script will open your default email program. If your wanting people to be able to email you through your site with out it launching the default email program, will probably have to have a php script. Make sure your Web Site Host allows php first

I found a couple WP plugins to do what I want but now I'm lost again. I installed and configured Contact Form 7 which worked like a top (forgive me for mt 1930's expression, lately I've been quite into a few computer games that are set in that era) and I want it to have captcha and the only plugin that is for captcha and can work with contact form 7 is called Really Simple Captcha, which when I install it and try to run the form I get this:

Warning: imagettftext() [function.imagettftext]: Could not find/open font in /home/helpless/public_html/wp-content/plugins/really-simple-captcha/really-simple-captcha.php on line 104

again, the link is http://helpless-laughter.net/?page_id=262 and I honestly don't know what I did wrong

Does your site allow php?
Also try typing in the full url to the files
From looking at your error code the script cant find the locations of the files
I keep getting this The requested URL /function.imagettftext was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request
So you trytyping the full url in your html where you have <a href='function.imagettftext'>
Try <a href='http://nameofsite.com/function.imagettftext' for all your link
Maybe that will help

yes, I have php. my whole site management is with a wordpress installation

Also try typing in the full url to the files


I'm not understanding which file in that plugin that you're wanting me to edit
