Toggle Here, Toggle There. What Are Those Funny Squares?

Really quick! I promise! Lookie here what I found!.. Poking around does not have to mean having a bad event happening promptly afterwards... Just make sure your hands are clean.. and wash when you are done! No, No, never mind ... Ugh!!

These boxes I keep finding everywhere.. I first noticed one, maybe two of them, on WordPress! That is a scary thing.. WordPress for a beginner is like a different planet..You just do not mess around with the unfamiliar.. Thank God, for Kyle's tutorials and a great many others training here or we would not be here at all. Where we would be, is at the library checking out the book Websites for Dummies, and, probably, or for you awesome Aussies out there, prolly burning it angrily about now..

Okay, Lets take a look...

This toggle maximizes or minimizes the WP editor buttons called the kitchen sink ... (Love that! Fondly reminds me of my purse)..There is another one close by that allows you to customize the length of the post you want to show in your home page, as well. It is called the insert Read More tag.

Now, tonight I was looking! Surveying the Wealthy Affiliate Activity Dashboard that shows all the articles being published... Yep! Right there! In the corner, a couple of those mysterious buttons, again.. Popped out at me! They have been sitting quietly, waiting, all along, this whole time, taunting me.. We are H-E-R-E!! CLICK US NOW!! What in the Hades are those buttons? Should I push them? Kyle didn't tell me about this?! What would Kyle tell me to do?! (Goodness, I cant even think for myself anymore) I mean, I can't just be playing around here?! I have serious editing to do... Questions running through my mind, the curiosity rising, coursing through my blood, making me MAD, mind you, MAD! JUST PUSH THE D@#N BUTTON AND GET IT OVER WITH!

So, I did! Glory be! The screen changed to a very pleasant practical application to insert comments into blogs without, WITHOUT having to go to another screen. Incredible! My computer didn't blow up or anything.. I didn't even lose content anywhere...

There you go! 3 helpful new buttons that you can fear no more.. I feel like we should end this with a song!

What are other UNFAMILIAR buttons you know about that you care to share? (besides, pushing mine, thank you!) Or, share you favorite song, totally off topic, but, appropriate, since I didn't share one... Oh, I know .... Tomorrow, Tomorrow! I love ya, Tomorrow, you're Only a dream Away!!!! I will spare you a link!

Good night, my lovelies! Keep going!

LOVE your work!

Hi, Andre, I see you started two days before me! Nice! Thank you for reading! You are generous!

Great Blog. I did not know about the blog button. That is cool!

Hi , Ron ! I usually find thing by accident! Like turning my screen and mouse operations upside down last night . It was like usin chopsticks for the first time or worse.. iPhone to the rescue , Google that is...

Your right word press dashboard can be scary , this is useful to know thank you have a good weekend

I am glad you could use it! Have a great day, yourself Katie!

At the risk of sanity, yes! Thank you!

Love it! I've been here, like forever, and I don't think I've ever clicked on those button in the Activity Dashboard. I don't think I've even noticed them before. ~Marion

That is super! Marion! Ha Ha! Hey, if you hit CRTL + ALT + UP ARROW. It will turn your screen and mouse upside down... It is crazy hard to type like that! My kids are going to get a surprise.....

I tried CRTL + ALT + UP ARROW and it didn't work for me (◕︵◕) It must be the operating system - I have Windows 7 Home Premium.

Marion, Did you try the down arrow then? I hope it works.. Great frustration tactic! Those eyes! creep me out! .. try the down button and get back to me.. I have win7..

Nah (ಥ ̯ ಥ) no joy. I tried on my laptop too (ಥ ̯ ಥ)

If all else fails, my dear, Marion, try it on someone else's computer !!

Poopie! Find an unsuspecting friend, lovely! that will be great joy...

Note: You can press and hold the Ctrl and Alt keys while pressing the Left, Right, or Down arrow to rotate the screen a different direction. Method 2: Right-click on your computer desktop screen. Click on Screen Resolution in (Windows 7 y 8/8.1) or Display settings in Windows 10.

I found it in Screen Resolution but I don't know why it doesn't work for me using the keyboard shortcuts.

Now you've succeeded in getting me to procrastinate (◠﹏◠✿) I tracked down keyboard shortcuts and I think your kids created the surprise for you - there must be a program on your computer that does the trick.

Yeah, Marion! :)

Ha ha, I am sorry! But it was a necessary diversion. No, I did it to myself trying to find the heart on the numerical board.. Ha ha. Hit the arrow by accident! Lol! What a trip! Okay back to work , lady! Mwah!

I like chocolate chip cookies, if that is what you are asking? ;) ♥

Ha ha ha! You have learned awfully fast! :) and I just turned my keyboard upside down on my screen.. Heeelp! @#$% buttons, Seriously!?This is hilarious, but, I hope I figure this out soon.. okay, for anyone who need to know... hit CRTL + ALT + UP ARROW to fix an upside down screen...
