Missing Visual Editor

I was able to restore my missing visual editor and kitchen sink!  How?  I read the directions…novel idea, eh?  – http://help.edublogs.org/2013/02/28/missing-visual-editor.  In your profile, there is a check box that allows you to disable the visual text editor when writing.  Mine was checked and the Visual button and Kitchen Sink disappeared.  Fortunately, I know HTML, but writing in code breaks the fluidity of blogging.  Got everything back, including the kitchen sink by following the instructions (DAH!) and clearing the checked disable box.   The Edublog Help and Support site is excellent.   It’s easy to find solutions to questions and problems with your blog.  Training folks, no need to reinvent the wheel … it’s all there.  The layout and visual organization of the site make it easy to find your answer and get back to blogging.  Before calling Rich, try the site  – http://help.edublogs.org.  Blog on, Stony Brook.

    Thanks for the tip on refinding the sink! Those can be the most frustrating times, when you lose access to something you can’t see. It happened in Blackboard this week when I couldn’t find the edit button on upgraded DB; turned out to be a simple mouseover that I wasn’t seeing.

    Does the help guide of Edublogs mention what to do when the saving function isn’t working properly? (I haven’t had any further problems since I deleted my badly behaving blog.) I will have to check it out.

    Hi,

    Let’s try to get together this week. The Edublog Guide is very complete. I think we were the original pilots and they upgraded or did something so that we needed to upgrade our default. Problem is, we weren’t told how to do that. Richie is on a much deserved vacation and will be away for two weeks. Your students starting out with their blogs won’t have the same problems as we do. We should go over this and the eportfolio workshops for adjuncts. Let’s talk. N
