How to add an editable text box to a page
OK thought i would answer my own question and show the method in which this is done. First declare a block, with a block view and then define a custom callback function that defines the textarea, are any output from Drupal's Form API.

function hook_block_info() {
  $blocks['box_question'] = array(
    'info' =&gt; t('Box question area'),
  );
  return $blocks;
}

function hook_block_view($delta = '') {
  $block['subject'] = t('TEST');
  $block['content'] .= drupal_render(drupal_get_form('custom_block_form'));
  return $block;
}

function custom_block_form($form, &amp;$form_state) {
  $form['question'] = array(
    '#markup' =&gt; 'this is a block,
  );
  $form['answer'] = array(
    '#type' =&gt; 'textarea',
    '#resizable' =&gt; FALSE,
    '#default_value' =&gt; $default,
  );
  $form['submit'] = array(
    '#type' =&gt; 'submit',
    '#name' =&gt; 'save',
    '#attributes' =&gt; array(
      'class' =&gt; array('save-button'),
    ),
  );
  return $form;
}


The custom_block_form is what defines the form blocks, call the submit functions to make your own callback on what to do when the form is saved.
