When viewing my site’s pages, the ‘edit page’ link is missing

    When logged in as admin on one of my self-hosted wordpress.org sites, I see an ‘Edit page’ button whenever I view a page. I don’t see that on my WordPress.com site. I could have sworn it was there at some point.

    Is there some way to make it appear? Going through the admin interface requires attention plus four or five clicks.

    (On some self-hosted themes I also see an ‘Edit site’ button. I’d also love to get that back….)

    Thanks!
