I'm desperately trying to finish of a site for my writers club and I know nothing about programing only got as far as I have care of WYSIWYG program.

Anyway I want to insert a series of forms in one of the pages giving random Male Names, Female Names, Places, Events. With a little help I designed a form which let me pick random first names. I called this form 'Form1.' I then thought if I duplicated that form that I could just change the Male Names to Female Names - why was I so stupid - both boxes showed Female Names.

Anyway I'm not a programer, all I'm interested in doing is putting this particular bit of our site together. I really would appreciate some help.

Here is what I have so far.
