How to Add an "Ask" Link on Tumblr
Tumblr is a type of network socializing site that lets you share anything. Posters can share blog posts, pictures, videos, articles or any other elements available on the Internet. The "Ask" function is a snippet of code you add to your website that allows users to ask questions through Tumblr. Tumblr has a wizard that creates the code, and you simply paste it to your HTML code.
