Well, a Google Docs form is great for posting a survey on your website, asking your customers or viewers questions, and gathering information you may need from your viewers. Not only is adding a form to your site very useful, but all of the information collected from the forms go to an organized, time-stamped spreadsheet for easy access. To insert your own Google Docs form, use these following steps_

Click on the “Create New” button then “Form”.Step 2_ Fill the form out with any information you want it to include. If you are in a Google Apps account you will need to un-check the box that says “Require your business name” sign-in to view this form.
