Dorie,

I'm sorry about this. This was a decision we had to make. It was going to take quite a bit more development time to get this feature working with the new featured image. So for the time being, you'll have to save, then go look at it in draft. I do it by opening another tab, saving my work in the one tab, but leaving it up. Then in the other tab I open my drafts, pull up the post to preview. Then, if I want to make a change, I go back to the tab with the blog editor and make the edit, hit save. Then I jump back to the draft tab and hit refresh.

Not perfect, but it will have to do for now. This is one we plan to circle back on. Sorry.

Hi Dorie - Is the preview button completely missing, or only when the post is being updated?

Going to have to check this out! After typing a post you can't preview it before positng without saving as a draft in this new format?

Yes Dorie I was looking for preview as well. I miss that feature and maybe it's just an oversight?   Hope so.

I guess this is a change from the old format, Dorie. I don't like the sound of that to be sure. Hopefully, it's a hiccup.

Dorie Dillard -  yet to write a post.

However, should not be any different than what it used to be. Only the home page has new design.
