WordPress Tip: Increase the size of your post-writing box
In my opinion, I think the default size of the post-writing box (shown below) is a little too small. Then, again, I do have a 24″ monitor. But still, especially with the size of images we tend to post on ProPhoto blogs, this area is a little cramped.
Luckily, there is a simple way to increase the size of your posting box. Just click on “Settings” (”Options” in WP 2.3.3 and earlier) in your WP Admin area, and then click on the “Writing” subtab. Then, where it says “size of the post box” just bump it up from the default 10 lines to something bigger.
I like 20 lines or more. Depends on how big your monitor is. Or, if you really want a lot of room, click on the “Toggle Fullscreen Mode” button, and really get comfortable.
Update: if what you’re really after is more WIDTH to your posting box, try using this plugin. It’s pretty sweet.
Update #2: If you want to make just a quick temporary adjustment to your posting box height (it won’t be remembered next time you post) you can also just grab the lower left-hand corner of the box (shown below) and drag it.
