It is almost too embarrassing to write about – but during a recent Edublogs Campus training session, a user asked for an explanation for what all of those icons do in the visual post editor.
I admit, I hadn’t actually played with them all before, and had to do some quick learning for a couple on the fly. Who knew the custom characters tool was there all this time!?
Thanks to my new found custom character button, I can say happy π day everyone! :)
So, here is a quick and complete list of all of the different tools available to you when editing a post:

Ronnie,
Thanks for posting this. I’ve learned some new things from your post. Just a note, the Paste tools work for other programs too. We had luck copying from a Google Doc and placing it in the “Paste as Plain Text” button. (The button with the T on it.) It helps keep the formatting of the theme–size, style, color, etc. When we tried to post it directly into the edit window, it made a mess of it.

Hi Denise – Thanks for the comments! You caught me out as I was stuffed for limited space in the descriptions there :) Definitely good pointers!
