yep you've botched it, you need to actually create and edit a contact template file for your theme, not through the online editor (I think) which is what I believe you have done
in the basic theme there is a contact template that already has this set up.
Basically what you need to do is make a copy of your template file
Stored at yoursite/theme/your-theme/template.php
and call it
yoursite/theme/your-theme/contact.php
and then paste the form section (as shown on this page) into it in the appropriate part

You need to do the above in notepad or an html editor do not do it in the online editor, thats only for content
