Putting texts under your Ask box

When the title said “ask box” it meant the ask box on the Ask page itself. You probably have thought of putting your FAQs there once or twice so your followers wouldn’t have to ask the same questions over and over again or so you wouldn’t have to make a Custom page. So here’s a way to put texts underneath your ask box.(This method was by Gabrielle Wee)
First, Go to Customize page then click on Edit HTML button.
Next, search up for the words </body>. It’s at the very bottom of the codes so it isn’t that hard to miss. When you’ve found it, Paste this codes ABOVE it:
<div id="ask_hide">
<div id="ask">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis faucibus auctor odio a venenatis. Ut at nibh quis augue rhoncus condimentum. Duis ut urna nec orci egestas mollis.
</div>
</div>
Delete and change the Lorem Ipsum part(the one that’s striked) with whatever you want to place under your Ask box, like your FAQs for example.
Now after putting whatever you want to put, paste these codes below it. Remember it should be immediately below the codes you just pasted.
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#ask_form').after($('#ask'));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
If your blog is already using a jQuery library, you can just delete those underlined parts since it would only cause conflicts to your theme. To check if you’re blog is using a jQuery library, go and search for the keywords, jquery.js or jquery.min.js. It usually always go that way. If you found one, delete the underlined part in the codes above. Got that?
Next, search for the word </style> and paste this codes ABOVE it:
#ask_hide #ask { display: none; }
This will hide the what you’re going to put in the Ask page on your Blog pages. So don’t forget this part.
And lastly, click on Update Preview button, then Appearance Button, then Save Button.
Click on the close button and check your ask page if it worked(It should if you did it right).
