We are testing a new WYSIWYG editor on the Blogs! Please let us know how you like it compared to the old one. We hope that this one will not only be much better looking but also much easier and better to use. Go ahead and copy and paste from Word this editor should clean out all the garbage!
So go ahead and try to break it, but please let us know if you do run into any issues, or even better let us know if you like it more than the previous editor.
