Text Fields
Text fields (single row, not the multi-row Text Areas) should generally always be set to be inline, so the label is next to the Text Box, not above it. It shortens the length of the form and in most cases improves the layout.
Using Proper Fields
When creating fields in a form, be sure you're using the proper Field Type for each one.

Before selling or discarding an old computer, or throwing away a disk or CD, you naturally make sure that you've copied all of the files you need. You've probably also attempted to delete your personal files so that other people aren't able to access them. However, unless you have taken the proper steps to make sure the hard drive, disk, or CD is erased, people may still be able to resurrect those files.
