Leaked : Contact Form Widget coming to Blogger

While creating my new template , I came across some interesting piece of code in the official CSS and JavaScript files which are included automatically by Blogger on each page of a blog. Its presence is a sure shot indication of a Contact Form Widget that is being developed by Blogger. Read on to find more details

Update - The Contact Form Gadget has been released 


Proof

The proof can be simply found by simply by seeing the View Source of any of your blog pages.

In the Source of the page, search for widget_css_2_bundle.css and -widgets.js

Open these files and search for the keyword "contact" and you will see something like this (click image to enlarge)

Check out these example CSS and JavaScript File URL's

I went a step further and applied the CSS to a standard Form and the result was something like

Demo

This pretty much explains everything and I suppose we can expect it to be released soon to the public . This was a much needed step as all the Blogger users were dependent on third party contact forms . On a positive note , this is a sign that active development is still ON in Blogger and closing it down is not happening in the near future atleast . The Official Google+ Stream gadget for Blogger was also found out by us but its still not implemented yet
