  I don’t like your ‘new post’ page. I can’t figure out how to share a link to another article. Also it doesn’t seem to give me the option to view my new post before I publish it.

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

  There are currently some problems with the new-post button on the WordPress.com home page. Rather go to your blog’s main dashboard (http://monkssite.wordpress.com/wp-admin/) and create a new post by clicking on Posts ->Add New in the sidebar menu. You’ll find creating posts this way is much more stable and provides many more options for making it look exactly like you want. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/new-post-screen/

  Thanks. That seemed to work to go to my main dashboard.

  Glad we could help. The main dashboard is generally the better option to create posts, but more so now while they’re experimenting with the New Post button in the Reader.
