  I get a warning from Zemanta that I must write my blog in Visual Mode. I use to have the tab entitled “Visual” next to the tab entitled “HTML” now I do not. I am talking about the page for adding a new post.

  What I see are “Screen Options” and “Help”. Where did the other tabs go?

  Thanks, Joe Hollinger

  The Visual vs. HTML tabs are actually at the top of your post editor box, just above the editor toolbar.

  Do you see them there?

  macmanx,

  Thanks for your reply/question.

  Are you saying that I have to write a new post, publish it, then edit it in order to get to the edit page where I can decide on Visual or HTML? Kinda dumb to have to do that now when previously Zemanta added links to the body of my posts as I was writing or immediately after I pasted content into the body of the post.

  The Zemanta warning shows up in the right column under Recommendations.

  I am so confused by something that is quite simple.

  Thanks for your help.

  No, not at all. It’s in the post writing area too, just referred to as the editor.

  When writing a post, look near the top-right of the area where you write the post, above the editor toolbar, for two tabs: Visual and HTML.

  Click the Visual tab to access the Visual editor.
