npcoleI'm afraid I'm a complete newbie to hacking wordpress (although not to coding more generally), so I'm sorry if this question has an obvious answer.
I'd like to add a text field to the top of my site to allow logged-in users to write very quick blog posts (ideally in a default category).
The code in Prologue that displays the form is (I've removed a couple of minor things just to make it clearer):
<?php
$user = get_userdata( $current_user->ID );
$first_name = attribute_escape( $user->first_name );
?>
<div id="postbox">
<form id="new_post" name="new_post" method="post" action="<?php bloginfo( 'url' ); ?>/">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="post" />
<?php wp_nonce_field( 'new-post' ); ?>
<label for="posttext">Whatcha up to?</label>
<textarea name="posttext" id="posttext" rows="3" cols="60"></textarea>
<label for="tags">Tag it</label>
<input type="text" name="tags" id="tags" autocomplete="off" />
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Post it" />
</form>
</div> <!-- // postbox -->But placing this code on the page doesn't seem to work. The form is displayed but submitting it does nothing. What do I need to do to get it to work properly?
Best wishes,
Nicholas
