  What’s going on with the new post screen? All of a sudden, I have a different interface and there is no “insert image” button.

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

  The original place to create a post with full features to upload images, etc is here Dashboard > Posts > Add New and it works well for me. In fact I never ever use the Add New at https://wordpress.com/post/ which is undergoing changes as part of an ongoing project to make the site multi-device friendly.

  Go to Dashboard > Post > Add New

  For inserting images see http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/

  Thanks for the reply. Yes, the dashboard option is still available, but I find it to be a little more laborious because you have to navigate through the “upload media” step every time you insert a photo. Didn’t have to do this with the “New Post” tap in the upper right had corner until today. Also, the new post button then defaulted to a text, photo or other type of post selection. Now, it defaults to a silly “Boom, boom” graphic while the new post page sets up. I’m going to hope that this is some holiday weekend craziness that will go away in a few days.
