Today, we'll guide you through the process of adding a file upload form to your Blogger blog, enhancing your readers' experience by allowing them to securely upload various files directly to your blog. This could be anything from guest posts, photos, to documents.
To achieve this, we'll utilize a free third-party email service called "formsubmit". Follow the detailed steps provided in the video tutorial below to seamlessly integrate the file upload form.
To begin, create a new page or access an existing one in HTML view. Insert the following code to embed the form:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.2.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<div class="container">
<form target="_blank" action="https://formsubmit.co/example@gmail.com" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col">
<input type="text" name="First-Name" class="form-control" placeholder="First Name" required>
</div>
<div class="col">
<input type="Name" name="Last-Name" class="form-control" placeholder="Last Name" required>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col">
<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email Address" required>
</div>
</div><br>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col">
<input type="file" name="attachment">

<label for="Message"><b>Message *</b></label>

</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-dark btn-block">Submit Form</button>
