 * I’m trying to get table support in the visual post editor, and I found the plugin
   for TinyMCE tables. What I can’t find is the plugin, searching through my wordpress
   administrator panel, for TinyMCE itself. Is TinyMCE already built in to every
   wordpress installation? Is TinyMCE what I’m already using when I use the visual
   editor? If so, why hasn’t adding the tables plugin created a table button?
 * Thanks for your patience with a newbie question.

 * Ok, just figured this out and feel kind of dumb. In case anyone having the same
   problem finds my question, the answer is yes, the default visual editor is TinyMCE
   although that’s not immediately explicit within WordPress. Adding the advanced
   plugin for TinyMCE gives you everything you need, but you have to enable the 
   table features and anything else you want added by dragging and dropping them
   from the TinyMCE Advanced settings under “Settings” (imagine that). If it seems
   complicated you’re doing it wrong.
