I can't find local folder in Magento 1.8.0.0 directory

Question

I am trying to create new custom contact form in Magento 1.8.0.0.

One of the steps is to create app/code/local/CustomContact/etc/config.xml

The problem I am facicing that I cant find local folder in the directory, I try to created I got errors at front end and back end.

I only found "community" and "core" folders in "app" folder.

it seems that in this new version of Magento the local folder is not there.

I want to know if there is another way to create Custom Contact form or if it is the same way then local folder should be some where else or I have to create the files in other folder.

If any one can help it would be appreciated.

Thanks

You'll need to create this folder yourself in modern versions of Magento.
