Heya, Breana.

I'm going to go ahead and move this thread to the JavaScript forum, where our resident Experts will be better able to help you out.

To access the textarea, use

document.getElementById("aboutme");

You can style a textarea, but to create a WYSIWYG editor, you may need to learn about "designMode".
