Alchime, I actually have not tried out that tutorial yet, so need to take a closer look at that. However, attached is a template file (basic-form.php) that is ready to use as a basic contact form with the default site profile. Let me know if this is helpful?
basic-form.php.txt
Note that you'll have to rename this to basic-form.php, place in /site/templates/. If you want it to email to a specific address (rather than the superuser) than edit the file and enter your email address in at the top where it says to.
