  If you get the dreaded big W then you have a browser issue. The My Site dashboard needs the latest everything to function correctly. It often fails for me despite using Windows 10 and Edge. Then I regain my sanity by returning to the wp-admin dashboard. https://swordwhale.wordpress.com/wp-admin if that brand new site is the one you’re shouting about.

  OK, that was useful. I did go back to the ancient wp/admin page and figured out how to actually get words and pics (I have an image heavy site) up. Am kind of worried about upgrading browser… ugh.

  thanks thanks thanks!!!

  welp that sucked… did it twice, downloaded new google chrome… downloaded successfully. WP still screwed. arghgggghhhh. Ancient dashboard works but can’t schedule which is really important because I don’t want to be on WP every day. Can upload words and pics…

  OK, I can schedule it just more complicated and annoying. Bleah.

  That link to the wp-admin age is the most useful thing yet. I can post now, it’s just the original “write” page was easier.

  Thanks again for advice!
