I am constantly having a problem with links that I add correctly and double-check not working. Frequently, they will link back to my Blogger dashboard after the post is published--NOT GOOD! I had no issues with Legacy and would be thrilled with the option to revert.

Unsure if that's true of WordPress, which often seems to have found new ways to be annoying throughout its history (Blogger usually in the past mostly annoying when pointlessly deleting complete blogs and making no apology.)Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18104399586348314594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-54927019976589174762020-09-24T16:58:31.895-05:002020-09-24T16:58:31.895-05:00I'm not sure what's the deal with changing...I'm not sure what's the deal with changing websites that are perfecly find as they were these days... This, but also Facebook and wordpress. Since wordpress changed for the blocked editor it's quite nightmarish. I mean, I have to go through five steps just to include a photo and sometimes it won't include itself so I have to go through those steps a couple of time.

Afraid to go back into any old posts now, too, given what might happen to formatting with auto-saves, etc. What an unnecessary mess.Chris Ottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875854143718805298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-28355136259244110152020-09-20T13:00:20.569-05:002020-09-20T13:00:20.569-05:00I just went in to a 2009 post to update a dead lin...I just went in to a 2009 post to update a dead link I'd happened to discover, and when I hit publish discovered all the paragraphing was removed, merely by updating the link.

There can't b a good reason that information couldn't be carried over. <br /><br />Remarkably ham-handed redesign.

When I write a review I use a desktop but I usually type up my monthly ‘list of movies I watched’ on my iPad - I add the movies as I watch then get on a desktop to add images and post. On both legacy and the new blogger I can’t scroll down in editing, so if my list is too long I can’t change or add anything at the bottom. Also sometimes I want to fix or add something to an old post but if it’s too far down I have to try to remember to fix it later on a desktop.

If there's an easy way to take a photo off the page after you upload it, it wasn't easy to find!<br /><br />The whole thing is junk. Makes you wonder what their agenda is -- surely they must know it's not nearly as functional as "Legacy Blogger."<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210602.post-21490597807292428822020-09-17T23:02:19.210-05:002020-09-17T23:02:19.210-05:00This "upgrade" is a hot mess that is tot...This "upgrade" is a hot mess that is totalling aggravating and infuriating to use. It's a NON user-friendly interface no one wanted or needed. Obviously Google didn't turn to users for any input and thus is shoving something down user's throats that one of their wonks thinks people Need.
