I interrupt this Blog to please ask WordPress Moderators who put this sign into my right had notification column to please withdraw it as soon as they are able… It comes in with the message
Blog, supercharged: get your own domain name, powerful customization options and lots of space for audio and video.
Every time I click my notifications to answer a comment the comment shoots back and this one briefly appears , the comment box I was on disappears and I have to scroll down to found the comment again I then go through the process again…. I even clicked onto Get WordPress Premium but to no avail it still jumps the cue to be answered again..
I usually have lots and LOTS of Patience..
But time here is precious and its taken me twice as long to get through simple comment replies..
Thank you WP for all of your hard work in improvements to our Blogs I am very appreciative of all your efforts to make our blog experience a rewarding one.
But I get the message..
And I can upgrade from my editor if I so wish by pressing the Go Premium Button..
But…
And I am very happy in my Free domain
Thank you Kindly
~Sue~

I think that WP won’t change it, the reason being is: WP host the NSA, CIA, FBI, Homland Security, etc., so it’s thier way of making one feel as though #BigBrother is watching every move they make.
The CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, all use WordPress:

Oh yes, a creative mind can find artful ways to dodge frusrations! Now if WP will roll back the ‘edit’ prompt. The main edit on my site takes to a teeny window that doesn’t even fit one photo in it, though sometimes the equally-irritating ‘beep beep bop’ offers, ‘if it’s taking too long you can always edit from the dashboard’ which takes me back to the ‘normal’ window with lots of scrolling room. Guess all obstacles also help us stay mentally fit by exercising our creative ways out of the mazes.

Lots of things have changed on WP and not all of it good. I got the premium as part of the price for attending the conference here. I’m not particularly techy so I hate to get too many changes. Let us know when they fix this. I’m curious how long it will take.

Yes true Marlene. It isn’t fixed but I have worked my way around it Marlene so I do not get so frustrated… It happened when I clicked the like button first.. the whole comment would then slide back into the side bar leaving the WP icon showing… the original comment would then disappear for a few seconds.. I was busy scrolling down searching for it… But I have since found if I reply to the comment first its ok.. and leave the like button alone.. I then go to my posting page and block like all comments together… It seems more of those with Free sites are the ones this is happening too judging by the comments I have received… I doubt it will change..
Greed is the name of the game.. and I guess nothing stays ‘Free’ for long without you pay for it in other ways.. WP altered the settings to my blog Theme the other month.. Where you see the feathers at the top of my blog.. I would change with the seasons.. Like Sunflowers, Christmas snow men etc.. Now that feature has been withdrawn.. I could still change it but only if I upgrade to premium..
But I am happy that at least it got changed when the feathers were in place LOL and not the snowmen 🙂 haha… You have to find the silver lining in all things.. 😀

I understand WordPress wanting, and needing, to make money, but this ad is a little too intrusive. I hope they realize that at least 50% of the true value for users of WordPress.com is the community – and I would guess the community is largely made-up of bloggers who use the free service.
