I just tried duplicating a post I made in early February as a template for a new post. That took 30 to 60 seconds. When I went to edit the duplicate, each letter took 5-10 seconds to edit/change. In other words, when I want to write a single line of text it takes 1+ minutes.
My business depends upon the Newsletter I send out...In the old blog, that was a bit boggy and somewhat slow, I was able to publish a weekly Newsletter. I slogged through it and made it work for me. The new blog is not as flexible, easy to work and it is slooooooooooooow. What do I mean by this: (a) not as flexible - I seem to have a choice of one font...also, I cannot have photo captions below the image...(b) easy to work with - I'l just mention SLOOOOOOOOOOOW as in minutes.
Who decided that the new wix blog is ready for prime time? It is not - users are discovering the problems that the designers should have caught...but thank you for the constant reminders for me to upgrade to a more expensive version...or a mailbox...could you please get these useless adverts for a poorly designed product off my screen?
I have taught at the university level. indeed all levels (biological sciences)...I have a PhD - and have been publishing my Newsletter for 19 years now...If a student came to me with this new blog as a semester project - it would get a "F"
