\nHere’s a little something to make writing pretty comments a little easier.
\nI took it from Scriptygoddess<\/a>, who took it from Alex King<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tags I use in my lineup are:
\nbold, italics, blockquote, link close tags<\/p>\n

You should see these buttons just above the Comments field when you write your comments to me. They make it a little easier for you to add HTML tags to your comments.<\/p>\n

From Jennifer’s site (this was written for WP 1.2. The instructions are a bit different for newer versions. I’ve installed it for WP 1.5 just fine)<\/p>\n

To use the “mini” version I made:<\/p>\n

1) Download the js<\/a> file and upload it to the root of your domain.<\/p>\n

2) Open up your wp-comments.php page [in WP 1.5, comments.php in your theme] … Look for the beginning of the comments form – (search for “<form” in the file) and put this just above it:<\/p>\n

<script src=\"\/js_quicktags-mini.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/form><\/code><\/p>\n

Look for the text area field for comments which looks like this<\/p>\n

<textarea name=\"comment\" id=\"comment\" cols=\"40\" rows=\"6\" tabindex=\"4\"><\/textarea><\/code><\/p>\n

and add this directly above it:
\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">edToolbar();<\/script><\/code><\/p>\n

And add this BELOW the textarea field:
\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">var edCanvas = document.getElementById('comment');<\/script><\/code><\/p>\n

This is the method I’m using on this site – although I added the “h3” tag just for the one I use, since that’s what I use to stylize code on this site. You can easily add more… or start from scratch using Alex’s.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
