  I am continually getting messages inviting me to switch to “the new posting experience.”

  But I don’t know what it or how it would after my two sites, one of which has be up since 2007 and has 104 long posts on it.

  Please explain.

  Hello!

  It’s a new post editor, styled along with the new Dashboard available at “My Sites”. You can see the new editor here:

  http://wordpress.com/post

  It’s the newer version of the post editor offered in /wp-admin/ here:

  https://rjohn.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=post

  It’s completely optional to use though, and makes no effect on how your site is actually displayed or the posts and pages you’ve already written. You can also try out the new post editor once as an experiment, and go back to using /wp-admin/ whenever you like.
