Spell Check in WordPress 2.0

I like the new editor in WordPress 2.0, but unfortunately it doesn’t come with a spell check function. I used to use the Spell Checker Plugin when I had WordPress 1.5. Unfortunately, the current plugin release breaks in WordPress 2.0.

I find a work around solution that uses a browser extension called SpellBound. This extension adds a spell check function in the context menu of the browser. SpellBound only works in Firefox and Mozilla. The installation is fairly simply.

How to install SpellBound

Give it a try. So far it works well for me.
