  In the past, I’ve been able to publish posts for other authors on my blog by simply changing the author as I’m creating the post in the editor. But with the “new and improved” editor, I don’t see that option, and it’s not available in the post list on my blog’s admin. Is it still possible to change the author of a post? Or did the new editor get rid of that?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There are known issues with images in the new editor https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/editor-feedback?replies=739 but I’m not sure that what you report is among them.

  Have you tried using the classic editor instead? You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and for viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/

  On the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  To create posts in the classic editor for you that link is

  On the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts one can hover over any post title and click the Edit link. and proceed with editing.
