  1. 529550 181744Hi this really is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or in case you have to manually code with HTML. Im starting a weblog soon but have no coding information so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any assist would be greatly appreciated! 591340
