WordPress.com is an easy way to start blogging. Get a blog, check out our features, read the latest announcements, choose from great themes, or learn about the team behind it.

For the record, I have made a post about reasons to move over to WordPress.com instead of Blogger.com, in hope that some of my friends from Blogger.com would be willing to <i>jump ship</i> and join me - hopefully, start a community blog sometime soon.
Just wish to share it with everyone here:

One thing that wordpress.com at the moment don't allow is AdSense or other Javascript-y thingies...
Where is my WYSIWYG ?

Where is my WYSIWYG ?
Take a look at the following:
Dashboard -> Users -> Your Profile -> Personal Options.
You should see the option for the editor there. Make sure its checked.

Ironically, I have adsense blocked from my web browser. Adsense, anyone?
Unfortunely some of us are stuck with locked down browsers. :)
I need to replace the battery on my lap top one of these days...

OK, so I'm a new hosted user, I have the "Use the visual rich editor when writing" box checked, but no WYSIWYG. I am using the Regulus 2.0 theme. I have seen the WYSIWYG interface a time or two during the last week, but mostly it's not there at all. What's up?

Masbury, that's strange. Anyone else having this issue?
-drmike
I've seen it once or twice. Masbury, What OS/Browser are you using to access WP.com?
I am. I don't have that option. IE6
It appears wysiwyg is back, and working wonderfully. Wonder if it could be about line speed - sometimes I'm on a high-speed connection, other times on dial-up. Using XP/Firefox 1.5.0.1. Thanks for answering, OK for now. Chartreuse, are you on a slow connection?
Oho, found the problem - it was not that I was using two different connections, but two different computers. The one on the slow line had a script blocker turned on. Works like crazy now - loving it!
I'm a new to wordpress.com and I love it. But, I have the "Use the visual rich editor when writing" box checked, and I have never seen the WYSIWYG. I am using the Regulus theme, Mac O/S 10.4.6, and Safari 2.0.3.
Thanks!
Looks something like this?
edit: Link fixed
No, there's no bar across the top, just an empty post box under Post. :(
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've unclicked and clicked again the editor checkbox.
Um, are you clicking on the "Update Profile" button as well? I know it sounds silly but 1) you don't mention that you are and 2) We've had people not doing that in the past. No offense intended of course. :)
You may also want to read through this FAQ and see if that helps.
No offense! I'm quite capable of missing something obvious and I'm hoping for some simple explanation. Unfortunately, I have updated the profile. I also pressed shift+reload as suggested in the faq and that didn't help either.
Could this be a safari thing? I also have IE but wordpress comes up as such a mess (sidebar is unreadable) and I can't see the editor there, either.
The sidebar looks fine for me in IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2.gdr.050301.1519 (I really wish I could copy and paste that) at 1280 x 1024. 99% of the time, a dropped sidebar is either because you have a picture that's too wide or you have an open HTML tag somewhere that's throwing things off.
Just found this thread on Safari and TinyMCE. Looks like Safari does not support WYSIWYG completely and TinyMCE is having issues with it (Note the topic number over there. Kind of fits.)
Okay, thanks for finding that out for me.
