Hidden post editor button in the wordpress 2.1

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Well this is a good news. It was quite annoying whenever i type my post. Each time the post was not align-center the way i want it to be. I had been searching at Google for the answer. Quite often there will be plenty of options. After reading all the post, i was often floating without a clear answer.

Now, again as i change my theme. The layout of all my post was looking horribly. I again search Google for answer.
Luckly i ran across solo-Technology. In his article WordPress 2.1 - More Editor Options enlighten me.

It seems that Wordpress 2.1 had a hidden post editor option.

Go from this:
wordpress button ori

To this:
wordpress-buttons add-on

Isn’t it amazing? Just buttons click away. Why, Wordpress should make a shout to everyone!

Ok, here’s the steps;

Just log in to write a post. Press alt-shift-v (Firefox) or alt-v (IE) and behold…
A new role of buttons appears.

You see what you get, a whole new role of essential formatting options like align, colors, underline, erraser, etc. A life posting saver for the html dummies like me.

This extra roll will auto dissapeared when user switch back to code view. Well, just re-activate it back when you need it, at Visual view.

Ps: if you can’t activate this new role of buttons. Try checking your Profile, make sure that “Use the visual editor when writing” is checked.

Mac user: sorry, this issn’t fot you guys… I’ve tried doing it on a Mac. Nothing comes out at all.

I think you’ll be pleased to see that there’s a plugin to make it easier to show those buttons — for ALL platforms:
