 * Hello,
 * Just a quick, simple question – how can I get it so that the links in the WYSIWYG
   post editor default to a certain class?
 * Thanks!

 * If this is for *all* links in a post, there’s no need to assign a class to them.
   Merely let them inherit the properties of the (in your case) main class, like
   so:
 * `.main p a {
    ... }

 * Yes, you are correct, but it’s for the purpose of integrating a javascript which
   affects class members, which isn’t affected by inheritance.

 * I to would like a way to accomplish this for my blog. Of course you can always
   change from “visual” to “code” and insert a class on a link but there has to 
   be an easier way.
 * What would be ideal for me is a mod or update to the standard WP “write a post”
   link button that has a 4th input box for class.
 * In my case I am using the thickbox.js to make lightbox style image links on my
   site and this requires you to add a specific class to links you want to activate
   thickbox on.
 * Any tips would be appreciated.
