 * Hi,
 * 1. How do I decrease the height of the Jetpack Contact Form ?
 * 2. Is it also possible to change field placements to be side by side, versus 
   under each other.
 * i.e.
 * name email
 * comments
 * versus:
 * name
 * email
 * comments
 * thks!

 * Hi,
 * You should be able to do so using CSS. If you give me a link to your form I can
   see what I can do to help, or you can post to [http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates)
   as well.

 * Hi!
 * Try this in your Custom CSS module in Jetpack:
 *     ```
       contact-form textarea {
       height: 100px;
       }
       ```
   
 * And then
 *     ```
       .contact-form label {
       float: left;
       }
       ```
   
 * Doing that is a start, but you’ll need to play with the margins after label, 
   for example, to get things lined up just right.
 * Hope that helps!

 * I tried this and it did not work. Contact form defaults the “textarea” height
   to 20 rows. Is there any place I can edit this? I’d like my textarea comment 
   box to default display with 10 rows, maybe less, but can find no place to edit
   the contact form field parameters.
 * Using custom CSS didn’t work for me.
