I did some more research (after uninstalling and reinstalling all over again) and found someone who was having the same problem and sent out a help massage like I did. They pointed out that YES, they had checked the "Use the visual editor when writing" box in their profile. Why they would put that there I have no idea but it was my problem. Funny thing is that I was up late, spending many many MANY hours on this because it became a vendetta and then when I got it to work, it was not really all that useful. I turned it off and went back to writing the blogs in Word and having the formatting tags already in a template. Thanks for being willing to look into it. Josh,

First, I upgraded to WP 2.2.1 and got that to work. Then I discovered TinyMCE Advanced and tried to install it. It took forever to get it right but it finally showed up in my plugin management folder. I activated it but nothing happened to my writing interface. The next thing I tried was downloading TinyMCE (thinking I put the cart before the horse) and didn't (maybe still don't) understand if I needed to do it. That's when I found your article and followed it precisely. No "TinyMCE" plugin showed up in my plugins management interface. Don't know if it's supposed to. The problem is, NOTHING seems to change my writing interface. I even deactivated ALL my plugins to see if that helped. Nope. I suspect that I'm putting the files in the wrong folders (it makes me dizzy trying to figure out what belongs where). As far as I can tell, I need to dump folders/files into two places: wp-content wp-include In the content folder, I have the plugin files at: wp-content/plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/ In the include folder, I have the plugin files at: wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/ Please tell me if that's right. Any advice would be wonderful since I've long passed the threshold of whatever benefit I get out of this actually being worth the hours I've wasted. -- J I’m having trouble with this and maybe you can help.

wp-content
wp-include

In the content folder, I have the plugin files at:
wp-content/plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/

In the include folder, I have the plugin files at:
wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/

Please tell me if that’s right. Any advice would be wonderful since I’ve long passed the threshold of whatever benefit I get out of this actually being worth the hours I’ve wasted.
