  Hi there. You can follow and participate in the ongoing discussion regarding the new editor here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-reinstate-the-option-of-choice-to-use-the-old-publishing-format?replies=278

  However, the old editor still exists and you can still use it. The simplest option now is to bookmark your WP-Admin dashboard and always create and edit new posts and pages via that. The link to your WP-Admin dashboard is here: http://mountainperspective.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  If you don’t mind “getting your hands dirty” a bit, another user has created a workaround in the form of a user script you can install in your browser that will automatically take you to the classic editor every time the new one tries to load if you click the New Post or Edit buttons in the admin bar. It works like a charm and is much simpler than it appears. See this link for instructions: https://github.com/tpenguinltg/wpcom-edit-post-redirect.user.js

  Hi Kokkieh, Thank you so much! I was able to easily install software to bring me back to the old way, via info on the links you provided! Cheers from New Jersey :)
