  I’m trying to author blog posts using markdown.

  I don’t want destructive writing, I just want a simple text editor.

  I’m thankful for the site and all the hard work, but please bring back the text view for the editor.

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

  I’ve never seen a forum like this. Nobody who’s working for WordPress read this forum.

  Hi there,

  If you click here it will take you to the old dashboard. All you have to do is add /wp-admin to your end of your URL.

  @jinaya, I’m sorry to hear you feel that way. However, there are a lot of Staff members and those that volunteer to answer questions.

  Hope that helps.

  @mariahpierson , Thank you for your answer :-)

  Please remember my voice when people call to update the old dashboard… sometimes, as writers, what we want is simplicity.
