  How do I add a one field form in the sidebar area, with a submit button?

  I think I can past html in a text widget and it will work, but when I do that, it posts the submitted text in place of the empty field box. I would like it to go back to any empty field box, ready for the next submission.

  Also, how do you control the size of the field box?

  Thanks

  There is a limit on the types of code that we can use here at wordpress.COM, and form code is not allowed.

  I don’t know if this will work for you, but the capabilities of the contact form shortcode available here has been considerably expanded and you can actually add custom fields and can even designate a different email address for it to go to.

  Sorry, I meant to also include a link to the support document on code.
