 * Ive seen this at a few sites, where underneatht he comments textarea there is
   a link to increase and decrease the size of the box? I’m just wondering how you
   do that.
    PS. I usually just search for this, but havn’t gotten any irrelevent
   results after around 5 different searches.

 * I found an answer with a google search :), but it isn’t specific to wordpress.
   Works with all text boxes
    ` (Comment textarea: <span style="cursor: pointer;"
   onclick="document.getElementById('comment').rows += 5;" title="Click to enlarge
   the comments textarea">Increase size</span> | <span style="cursor: pointer;" 
   onclick="document.getElementById('comment').rows -= 5;" title="Click to decrease
   the comments textarea">Decrease size</span>

 * In fact, that method isn’t too semantically correct… You can read more about 
   that in [my post regarding textarea resizer JavaScripts](http://mathibus.com/archives/2005/02/08/js-textarea-resizer/).
