I find the block system confusing and awkward.
-
I really don’t care for this block system. I didn’t ask for it, it just appeared. It doubles the time it takes to do a post. How do I get back the old system that I’m used to?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Sounds like you would like to return to the Classic Editor.
This FAQ shows you how:
Will I still be able to use the old editor?
At this time, as we’re introducing the WordPress Editor you’ll be able to switch between the new and classic ones for posts and pages; some other content types may require the older editor.To switch to the classic editor, click on the ‘. . .’ settings icon in the upper right corner of the editing screen.
Then, click on Switch to Classic Editor.

Hi ytriguy,
Please share website address for which you are seeing new block editor.
It will be helpful if you could share screenshot of options which appear after clicking on three dots at the upper right corner of the editor.
You can use https://snag.gy to share url of screenshot.

@ponytailsdesigns From your screenshot, it looks like your site uses the self-hosted version of WordPress rather than WordPress.com, which is what this forum is designed to help with.
You may be interested in installing the Classic Editor plugin though to disable Gutenberg: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/
If you’re having further issues, please post in the self-hosted forums instead. For help and issues with Gutenberg specifically: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg/
