 * Hi,
 * How do I get the source code to show when I write something?
    When I click on
   the html icon it comes up blank.
 * Thanks

 * When you want to view the source code of a page in Internet Explorer just go 
   to ‘View > View Source’.
 * In Firefox just press CTRL + U.

 * Assuming you’re using the wysiwyg editor, click the “html” button in the editor’s
   toolbar.
 * Or, go to users and uncheck “Use the visual rich editor when writing”. Then, 
   in the post editor, you’ll directly see the html.
