  I haven’t posted anything on my blog since you have installed the new format and I am having problems with it. There is no longer a tab to increase the size of my print and I am waiting forever to see a preview of my posting before actually hitting the “publish” button. Why does this take forever?

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

  Howdy!

  We did update quite a few links to point to our new editor at http://wordpress.com/post. I believe that’s the new format you’re referring to. However, please keep in mind that the old editor is still available. You just need to access it by clicking “Edit” underneath a post here:

  Regarding your specific feedback, let me address that below!

  There is no longer a tab to increase the size of my print

  Are you referring to switching to headings versus paragraph text? If so, that feature is still in the new editor as shown here:

  

  Can you let me know if you’re referring to something different?

  Just to clarify, when you click “Preview” the actual preview of your post takes awhile to load. Is that correct? Does the preview eventually load or does it time out?

  Thanks Jeremy for getting back with me. Actually I have figured out how to get around with what’s giving me problems by using what you refer to as “the old editor” but it’s still curious that I’ll get that newer editor when I hit edit on a published piece and when it it, if I hit preview it goes to “save” the piece and does seem to stay in a time out mode for way too long.

  for now though I seem to be okay

  thanks again

  When I say “old editor”, I’m referring to the editor on your Dashboard here:

  https://woodgatesview.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  I only say “old” as that’s how most users are referring to it.

  I’m glad you’re up and running now. Please let me know if you need anything else!
