  I am sure this probably does not matter, however, I do not like the new layout and new controls. I think it is difficult to navigate. One of the reasons I joined wordpress.com was due to its ease of use. I used to be able to just click on one link to go to my home page or the dashboard. Now I have to click on several different sites to even figure out how to start a new blog. Yes I do see the pencil with the + sign at the top, but I do not like the lay out of the blog entry from that site and it does not allow me the normal functions that I prefer to use.

  – not happy

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

  Hi there,

  Thanks for your feedback — we definitely take it seriously, and I can share your comments with our team working on these features.

  I also want to share a few tips that may help you get to where you want to go with fewer clicks. While you’re visiting your site, you can use the drop-down menu in the top left to go to your WP Admin dashboard: https://cloudup.com/c9KnsKmR_l8

  From your dashboard, you can use that same menu and click the “Visit Site” link to get to the front page of your site.

  While in your dashboard, you can head to Posts > Add New to create a new post using the classic post editor there (instead of the new editor). If you end up in the new editor at https://wordpress.com/post you can switch back to the classic editor using the link in the bottom right: https://cloudup.com/cmM-riKi1-H

  I hope this helps! If you have other concerns, or if you’d like to tell me more about the functions that you prefer in the classic post editor (so I can share that with our team, too), please let me know.
