Sometimes you can just blog

As you might have noticed, every channel has an "Add post" button. Clicking that allows you to publish ordinary text blogs on your own channel. But unlike many other blogging sites, Yaika! has a very comprehensive text editor that has all the main features you can usually find in office suite software. You don't have to have any knowledge in HTML to use it.

All the most frequently used editing options are available. You can add pictures to your text (although the pictures need to be hosted somewhere on the web), you can hyperlink any word and you can even make tables inside your posts, if that makes it easier to understand. It's possible to insert flash-animations and videos. Changing background and font colour is allowed too. It also has the mandatory "Find and Replace" function. There's even a spellchecker.

If your post requires additional formatting and a presentation of some more complicated information than just text, you can easily write it directly in Yaika! There's no need for a separate text editor. But it's also entirely possible to use it for just writing plain text :)
