   I wanted to add a search box for my photo archives to my sidebar by the blog search box. I tried adding in the code, but the search doesn't work. Knew it couldn't be quite that easy.

   what I'd like:

   1. Photo Archive search function to work
   2. Search box to be white, not black
   3. Search boxes for both blog & photo archive to be a little larger, but more importantly - be the same size.
   4. Would prefer the search results open a separate tab or window (checked the search on my homepage http://hockeyphotography.com and it opens in the same window. Not a problem there, but I'd rather it not happen on the blog).

   My blog - http://hockeyphotography.com/blog (using Journalist theme).

   The Photoshelter code
   

   <form action="http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/hockeyphotography/search" method="get">
   <input type="text" size="15" name="I_DSC">
   <input type="submit" value="Search Archive">
   <input type="hidden" name="I_DSC_AND" value="t">
   <input type="hidden" name="_ACT" value="search">
   </form>

   Thanks!

   Okay, I've learned that I need to post the code into a text widget first and the search does work then, but if I add the text widget to the sidebar, the original sidebar disappears!

   I'd like this search to actually appear in the middle of what I currently have (where the non-working search thing appears now on http://hockeyphotography.com/blog ).

   I have a feeling that I'm missing something very simple, but so far haven't come up with the correct way to phrase my question here or in google to come up with the correct "how to" answer.

   Thanks for any help.
