  Dear Sir/Madam,

  HATE the new layout compared with the Classic layout…the new block system is TERRIBLE to use, difficult and not user friendly. Very bad move to change to this new block system,

  Yours sincerely

  Jerry TILLEY Mr.

  We have tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQs: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  And, if you really want to use something like the classic editor, we recommend sticking with the classic block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  We also have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/

  If you have any feedback on the new editor, we’re always looking for ways to improve it, so please let us know!

  Hi,
  Thanks for your reply and the information about blocks. I tried using the classic block option but it does not bring back the previous layout and design for posting.

  Feedback on the new layout/format is that it is terrible to use, a huge backward step from the previous layout. So far my experience has been that it is very bad to use, so bad in fact that I may well give up with WordPress altogether.

  So it gets a big thumbs down from me. It was definitely NOT a change for the better.

  thanks
