Hack: Adding Buttons To The WordPress Write Panel

If you use the WordPress Write panel to create your blog posts, you have probably noticed that the buttons available for you to use are often lacking. Recently WordPress added an advanced panel to the Rich Text Editor, but even that is still missing a lot of options that people would love to use. I know that I personally have always wished that there were a few other options available, such as underline, headers 1-3, etc.

For people looking for a way to do this, I recommend you read the tutorial written on WPCandy called Adding Buttons To The Post Editor. Michael has taken the time to spell out each individual step so that someone without any coding knowledge could easily make the necessary adjustments. As always, don’t forget to backup your quicktags.js file before making any changes so that you can easily restore it if something goes wrong.
