For example, go to Administer » Site building » Blocks » 'Syndicate' block and add to the block title field the title: Subscribe to our RSS

Get the most from Contact Form

In Photofolio 2.0 we have taken care of the look'n'feel of the Contact Form module. Just enable the module and create a new contact form.
