  I started a new wordpress.com blog today. Discovered that there is no proofreading button. What do I need?

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

  You are most likely using the new editor. Proofread button is not yet available in it.

  You can however use proofread your posts from the WP-Admin also known as the old dashboard.

  Write your post in the new editor and save the draft.

  Go to Posts page in the WP-Admin at http://edwardsks.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  Move the mouse over the title of the draft and click Edit button.

  Click on Proofread Writing button to proof read your post.

  Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

  I’m not very tech-savvy, but thanks to the explanation, I found that mthe edit function was back and worked successfully. Is it possible for me to get out of the ‘new editor’ (I didn’t know I was in it) and use the ‘old dashboard’?
  I have a long-term WP blog, but started this second one, thinking it would be a dottle getting it set up and running well. Wrong!

  The old editor is also known as WP-Admin. This can be accessed by visiting this link: http://edwardsks.wordpress.com/wp-admin

  Alternatively, you can also click on the WP Admin link at the end of the menu options in the new editor: https://cloudup.com/crMfcYwow5q
