Internet Wars: The Ongoing Battle Over How the Web is Run

The people who are making decisions about the internet are, fundamentally, deciding the access of all future generations to come. Forget Afghanistan and Iraq; these are the theaters of war where democracy will live or die. SherWeb has an overview of the most contentious battles over who controls the web.

The only problem I have with the new design is I can't find a "save and continue editing" button. I can preview, but my changes won't be there unless I just wait... and wait. And preview again. Am I missing something?

Alex: I do believe you're mistaken. Saving the draft drops you into a preview of the post, but then you have to choose to edit it to get back to editing it. Very inconvenient.

There is another quirk in the admin: if you're in "Manage", then you click on "Write," after publishing the post, you will be dropped back to "Manage."

I find that you need to be on the dashboard home, then you can write posts after posts with no problem.

I'm running over on wordpress.com, and even though the new editor is slightly less buggy than the old one was (for some reason, if you rolled over one of the toolbars at the top of the page it would cause the editor window to jump back to the top of the page automatically, usually messing up stuff in the process) I do have to agree that the new UI is just a pain to use. The editing window seems to be designed for fixed-width templates (which would not work for my Blog since I use a lot of photos) so full-screen editing is the only way I can really write without having to fight the editor all the time. The fact that they removed the "view" option on the manage posts UI is a pain too, since you have to go through the editing window to find the view button now.

Issues aside, it's still less of a pain to deal with than Blogger was though.

My admin just upgraded last night, so I got hit with the new look today. Going to take some getting used to.

Just a note to all the web site designers and wordpress folk, light, small text is really tough for us older folks to read sometimes. Yes, it's a pretty look, but hard on older or vision impaired eyes. The light blue text in the new format is not as good as the old format.
