Enhance Your Text Editor: Make Writing Better Blog Posts Easier

0

TinyMCE Text EditorIf you’re using the standard text editor that comes with WordPress, it really might be time for you to consider an upgrade.

It’s cheap, in fact free and, it will help you style your blog posts in a way that is appealing to your readers.  With this text editor, you can change the color, style, and size of the font and, it will enable you to add tables to your blog posts without having to code it.

I remember when WordPress upgraded to 2.5 and those of us using Semiologic at the time were so disgruntled because the we had been spoilt with a text editor that functioned in similar ways to Microsoft Word.  Other WordPress users weren’t so fortunate but the upgrade to WordPress 2.5 was supposed to be an enhancement to the text editor but for us Semiologic users, we felt as though we had been relegated to the third division especially when I spent about an hour one day, hand coding a table my client wanted adding to their blog.  Such a frustrating waste of time.

Fortunately, I soon discoverd the TinyMCE Advance Text Editor plugin which is now widely used by WordPress bloggers and I love it because it’s functional.

Watch this video to find out how to use the plugin and, how to install it if, you’re not familiar with adding FTP.
