  I am sorry if this is the most ignorant question…I have been blogging on another site and am new to WordPress. I have not been able to find a way to expande the area where I type in my posts, I was lucky enough to figure out how to squeeze in my text by going to “quick press” or “quick post” from my dashboard. Is the typing area supposed to be so tiny, how do I expand it? Or is it appearing so small on my computer because my computer is a mini-laptop screen? Thank you for any advice.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You used to be able to do it by just dragging the corner of the Write box, but I see that doesn;t work now. YOu can still change it on your Dashboard under Settings->Writing-> Size of post box.

  If you edit or write your posts in the post editor, the size of the editor window is adjustable in the Visual mode but not in HTML mode. You can edit in full screen mode (alt + shift + G) by clicking the square icon next to the proofreading button.

  1tess, thanks to you too, I tried it out, looks like a toggle feature, on my work computer it did just fine. I will try it out on my mini-laptop when home.
  thanks to both of you.
