How to add extra text to joomla contact page
This is my first time using joomla. I don't know if I am using the contact concept incorrectly, but I have a Contacts menu that I created and I added the contact details. I'm looking to add a sentence or two text above the contact details and an email form. There seems to be no way to do this through the admin page. Am I doing the right thing? What do I need to do if I want this?

If you really want this above the contact details, you need to work with the layout. There is no way to do this through the admin backend. In Joomla 1.0 this was only possible with a hack, now in Joomla 1.5 it is possible to override the layout.
This article shows you how to do this.
If you want to see it live, install the beez template, which has overrides for almost all major Joomla components. This way you can test how beez works and then do something similar with your own template.

You can try creating your own contact form. You have to create a custom HTML contact form and use PHP's sendmail () function. You will find many PHP based contact forms available on the internet. Use plugin "Jumi" to bind submit button with php code. Everything works as it should. I used it to create one of my contact forms.
