# Default Code View

 * I just installed WordPress today and have only just glanced at some of the source.
   But I’m a little stuck here.
 * I like the WYSIWYG editor, but I have always liked using notepad for my editing
   of pages instead of WYSIWYG.
 * So I am wondering: How do I make this option default, but still available?
 * I’ve searched some and come upon a couple posts with this exact question, but
   which have yet to be resolved. I’ve also searched elsewhere online, and have 
   spent a while searching through files trying to track down how this setting is
   done, but to no avail. If this has been answered somewhere, some please point
   me in the right direction!
 * Thanks!

 * I have a variation on this issue: I’m importing from Radio Userland, and WordPress
   imports and saves all my old stuff in the view window, with all the html visible.
   Is there some way to assure that it will instead import in the code view, so 
   that I don’t have to change every single post manually?
