is there any way to get a larger text box to type in when making a new post?
the default box is rather small and you have to scroll up and down when
making a new post or editing an existing one.

once the post is submitted, the display goes to a larger box, but the text
only takes up the left side of the page. seems the only way to get it to go
all the way to the right is to make everything html and submit it that way.

can the normal text look like the html does without submitting it as html?
