If you compose in Blogger (Google's Blogspot.com) at all, you may be frustrated with the relatively small size of the text area provided for writing. It defaults to only about 15 lines!

Here's a fix that automatically resizes the Blogger edit boxes for both the "Edit Html" and "Compose" tabs to just a bit smaller than the current size of the browser window, leaving just enough margin for the scrollbars and other editor components, etc. Additionally, it listens for future window resize events, and resizes the edit boxes along with the browser window.
