Changing the Size of the Posting Box in WordPress
For the most part I use MarsEdit for all my blog posting. It has a simple clean interface and I highly recommend it for any bloggers using Macs. From time to time I am away from my MacBook that has MarsEdit on it and I have to use the usual WordPress dashboard. One thing that has always bugged me is how small the edit window is in the WordPress dashboard. I have looked all over and couldn’t find how to make it bigger, so I looked into the code myself.
The file you will be editing is /wp-admin/post-new.php. It’s just a matter of changing one number. Look for this line in the code.
