Is there a way to increase the size of the HTML edit box in when creating a new post? The default size is ridiculously small. I'm surprised they never created a click and drag corner on the lower right or something.
I use TinyMCE advanced plugin and that is wide. It is so wide that when I upgraded to 2.7 I had to drag the right column menus down to below the edit box just so I could access the editing boxes in the toolbar. TinyMCE Advanced is also great for making links in your posts no follow which should help with PR.
Go to Admin Panel > Settings > Writing Settings. Play with the value of "Size of the post box" until you can adjust it to your liking.
You shouldn't be surprised. You _can_ click and drag the lower right corner to change size of the edit box (works in the rich text mode, but you can switch back to the HTML mode when resized) And there is a button to make the editor full-screen.
Thanks - I've forgotten about rich text mode, but I need to be in HTML mode. That "size of the post box" thing worked perfectly, it was only at 10 lines.
