Here's one of those little things that I didn't notice until recently.
When you compost a blog post, would you like the size of the post-editor-box to be a bit larger?
I often do, especially if I have some images or videos to insert.
I just realized, that in WordPress at any rate, the box can easily be enlarged.
Click Settings -- over at the far right side of the Dashboard. Then click Writing.
The first item is Size of the post box. The default setting is 20 lines. I increased mine to 60 lines .... and it sure feels better now! :-)
I'm sorry. I'm lost
where is wordpress located in AR?
Thanks, Cheryl, I do two outside blogs on WP and I did not notice that feature... TMaybe that will keep me from having to go back and editing the size of the pictures... Thanks...
Fernando: WordPress isn't part of Active Rain. It's blogging software that many members do use to maintain their other individual blogs "outside" of Active Rain.
My tutorial site http://www.queenofkludge.com runs on WordPress.
Use the Active Rain search menu up in the menu bar, and search for posts about WordPress, and you won't be lost for long. :-)
Hi Cheryl - I didn't know about that! I have WordPress! Thank you for the tutorial site I am going there after this.
I too never saw that but I have been able to enlarge the box by dragging the bottom right hand corner of the box.
Cheryl thank you for this....and thank you for all the tutorials you contribute to the e-PRO Group.
Cheryl, thanks, I have to start using wordpress, I think it should be a lot easier than html and formats better than wysiwyg. thanks for the reminder.
Kinda sorta related: On my AR blog, my wysiwyg editor is tiny, but my html is about the size of this comment box. I can't figure out how to enlarge the AR wysiwiyg. After my bad experience posting directly to AR, I now write in WP and copy and paste into the AR html, because links don't transfer well otherwise, but, I then like to do my final edits in wysiwyg. It's nearly impossible, and images cannot be seen at all.
Am I the only one who is having problems with that? And is there some way to change it?
@Teri: Hmmm. Just for fun, did you try logging out, exiting the browser, then restarting and logging in again? Firefox? Or IE? I had the teeny tiny html post box appear one time, but logging out and restarting made it go away.
I just measured mine, and in both FF and IE it is 658 pixels wide, by 414 pixels in height. I don't think there's a tool to change it.
I just posted again, and I have an image! w00t, that's 2 in a row. Don't tell anyone, 'kay? ;-)
More details:
I draft in WP, then copy and paste into AR html, "save/publish" in AR, then switch to wysiwyg in AR to do my final draft. It's the switching over that gives me the tiny box. you are right- if I log out or move off the page, then come back to wysiwyg, it's big. weird. wonky. But. No. Rants. From. Me. ;-D
This is a RANT FREE ZONE. :-)
