Script Summary: Resizes the Blogger edit boxes for a larger text area when writing blog postings.
Version: 2009-09-07
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.

As discussed in the comments below, I'm avoiding Blogger's "updated editor" for now, due to many other unresolved issues with that editor itself. My scripts are only designed to work with the "old editor". Some details about the new editor are available from Google here.
If you have an issue with this Greasemonkey script, please report it using the issues tab. Be sure to include which browser and version is being used. Please also include any other possible factors that are visible, such as JavaScript errors or warnings in the browser.
