How to put text box above blog in Wordpress?

Hey guys,

I have my first wordpress blog set up on a domain name that I own. I have put my first blog down, but, I want to put a text box above that, but, below the header, with an "email me" link in it.

How do I do that? I am using the Wp-ADMIN tool.

    You will just screw up your blog.

    Since every theme is designed and coded differently, nobody will be able to tell you waht to do.

    You can provide a link so somebody can take a closer look at it or you can find a fellow warrior in the Warriors for Hire section to do it for you.

    P.S. In a well designed WP theme you can't just add arbitrarily "boxes" wherever you think you should have one. Why not use a simple text widget in the sidebar - that's a good option for novice WP users

    Ok - I saw the sidebar, but, don't know how to put a "Email" or a "Contact Me" slot in there.

    Thanks so much!

    There are many many youtube videos about how add a widget to your sidebar...
    wp-admin > Appearance: Widgets
    - drag a Text widget to your sidebar - click on it; as it opens add any kind of Title, text (including html code, javascript - no PHP!); save it. Done.
