* Hello,
its a very nice plugin and helps a lot. Only I dont’t like is, that editor
starts automatically in html mode. Is it possible to change that? I would prefer
starting editor in visual mode, I use html mode only occasionally. Thanks, Udo

* The plugin works nice, but I also want the editor to start in WYSIWYG and not
in HTML mode.

* Agreed. Not sure why it starts in HTML mode.
* I would suggest either leaving it starting in Visual mode as the default or have
a settings page for the user to choose.

* Ditto on adding a setting or changing the behavior. I love opening a post in
text view but I learned that bloggers dont…they like visual. Every time you save
it goes back to text view which was frustrating to my blogger customer.
* Just a thought!
* Great plugin! Leaving 5 stars either way!
