How to add "Ask a Question" text box and continue button in sidebar?

Question

a small text box and continue button below it. how to add this to sidebar?

I feel this might help to increase posting questions from guest users.

Answer 1

Use the admin option which lets you modify the sidebar HTML. Enter something like this, replacing the [URL in brackets]:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="[FULL URL OF YOUR ASK PAGE]">
<INPUT NAME="title" TYPE="text">
<INPUT NAME="doask1" VALUE="Ask" TYPE="submit">
</FORM>

You can then of course tinker with the HTML to get the look and feel you want.
