  I have written one blog on here before where I wrote without any html. Everything was visual. I could scale pictures by dragging the corner. Now, for some reason, when I write posts it is no longer visual. How do I switch it back?

  Go to your Profile page and tick the box marked “Use Visual Editor”. For no reason anyone can find, sometimes it just turns itself off.

  Sometimes it’s a “sticky” toggle or whatever. So I’ve got used to going back and clicking it a couple of times and then VOILA!
  Go back and do this again anyway -> Users -> Your Profile
  check mark the box for “use the visual rich text editor” and click “Update Profile” to save.

  To switch between visual and code take note of icon 17 depicted here http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/15/what-do-all-the-icons-mean/
