Can't find the "classic" page for new posts any more.

    How do I get back to the “classic” page to add a new post? I can’t use the new one till they fix the glitch that only remembers 100 tags and 100 categories. I notified the “happiness” people months ago about this deficiency in the new post page, and they were looking into it. My blog used to default to the old “new post” page, and I could make use of my tags and categories. Now the alphabetical list of Categories stops at the letter F!!! Kinda useless – I need to know how to get back to the old editor till they manage to fix the problem with the new one.

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

    To reach the classic editor, try going to your site’s Dashboard first. Then for a new post, select Posts > Add New.

    OK, that worked, thanks – I thought that was what I was doing but the new style in the pulldown was befuddling mine eyes ;) OK, final suggestion, then: where did the link go that was on the new editor, leading back to the old editor? It should be prominent. Might be there and I just couldn’t find it?

    Anyway, it should be really clear which editor you’re choosing and how to choose it, rather than have “new post” from one link go one place and “new post” from another link go to a different place, and the two places not having links to each other. (Ok, the old does still link to the new, but AFAICT the new stopped linking to the old.) Why not just have two separate links everywhere – New Post Classic and New Post New or something – until the new editor is finally fixed?
