Drupal Functionality.

What you are looking at might not seem to special, but believe me, this module adds so much to a Drupal site.

This is the Wysiwyg module that harnesses the CKEditor module.
The Wysiwyg module allows users to access client-side editors to edit content.
In particular, I chose to pick CKEditor, which is a visual HTML editor.

That basically means that you have the ability to edit the of body of the text you submit into a Drupal article, or any other content type. This makes it so you can add color to text, links, spell check your work, among other functionality that is built into the editor.

This adds a lot of versatility when you are adding text into Drupal. Instead of boring, plain text words, you have much more visually pleasing text.

The Wysiwig module itself was really easy to install. Then all you had to do was pick an editor you want to install, go into the configuration of the Wysiwig module and install it! Configuring the editor to your specifications is easy as well. Some editors require you to download a separate file as well to go along with the editor. Overall a 5/10 for ease of instillation, and I highly recommend it.
