Why did the format of Freshly Pressed change?

  This isn’t a problem, but I’m hoping you can forward this to whoever needs to hear this.

  The new format for Freshly Pressed is horrible. I really appreciated the tile/thumbnail format, with all the links on a single page and a catchy headline for each, because I could quickly review all the posts that were featured and choose the ones I wanted to read. Now I have to scroll down a seemingly endless page full of big pictures and small text, so there is a very good chance I might miss something that would be great to read.

  I may be feeling strongly about this, having had one of my posts Freshly Pressed a few months ago, but I really don’t think this new format gives these posts the full attention they deserve. Personally I got fed up after trying to scrolling through about three posts in the new format, and this is not good for me as a reader or for the authors whose work is somewhere further down the page. I strongly encourage WordPress to go back to the old format.

  Thank you so much for your feedback on Freshly Pressed. I’ve passed it along to our team responsible for that feature and they appreciate it.

  To display Freshly Pressed in a tiled format that may be more to your liking, you can click on the new “grid” icon at the top right:
