 * i’m trying to use my blog not only for written text, but for streaming mp3s as
   well. i have a nice little flash file here that is great for what i want, but
   i was wondering if there would be anyway to make a quicktag button over the posting
   box so that i can just click the button, insert the URL like with the link button,
   and that have it generate itself without me having to embed all the code.

 * Yes, you can edit the file quicktags.js which is in the wp-admin folder. Instructions
   can be found here: [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/quicktags/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/quicktags/)

 * That was amazingly helpful.. I use a lot of custom divs to layout text and imagery
   within my blog and I was getting really sick of doing it all by hand.

 * I am trying to make a quicktag that will perform multiple funtions in one button.
   My goal is to make it generate the HTML code:
    <font size=1>via
 * Here is my attempt, but nothing appears when I refresh quicktags.js
 * edButtons[edbuttons.length] =
    new edbutton(‘ed_credit’ ,’credit’ ,'<font size
   =1>via ‘ ,'</font>’ ,’c’ );

 * oops..the post sucked up my link tag… it should have been this:
 * ‘<font size=1>via ‘”
 * edButtons[edbuttons.length] =
    new edbutton(‘ed_credit’ ,’credit’ ,'<font size
   =1>via ‘” ,'</font>’ ,’c’ );

 * I could never make this work using notepad or Word. They would step all over 
   the java code, and when it was uploaded, it wouldn’t work. However, I found a
   free java script editor [HERE](http://www.trans4mind.com/personal_development/JavaScript/freeEditor.htm)
   that allowed me to add my own quicktags. I just thought this might help others.
