The new blog is not nearly as customizable as the previous one. It has presets that do whatever they want. You can't choose how many posts you want to show in views different from "Side by side" and "One column". You can't resize the feed. It takes up unnecessary blank spaces everywhere. You can't set up a scroller and you can't do 90% of the things that I did for my page with the old blog: https://ntv-group.wixsite.com/journal-gpche/ .

The new blog in a downgrade from the old one.
Features from the old blog, that are missing in the new one:
Tags were on top of the post
I could choose which other posts are related to this one and have them appeared on the bottom (the new one just shows recent post)
Having the option to select a few post and change their tags or categories at once. In the new one I have to go one by one.
The new blog has many errors in the blog website page. I counted 3:
- slider post is not switching to the next post
- tags sometime duplicate with the same name
- In the post list (on the website page) some post don't show their title, some do,

The old blog was just great!
People are too polite to the wix employees who make excuses here. People have pointed out the same problems since October 2018 when the first stink of the new blog was introduced - yet not one of the problems raised has been fixed/addressed. Look: I used the old blog for 135 publication issues of my Newsletter. I know how the blog should basically work...the old blog was not perfect but it was usable. THE NEW BLOG IS NOT REMOTELY EASY TO USE. wix employees have to stop making polite excuses and replies: own up to it and tell the world yes the new blog is BAD and people constantly complain...but we can't really do anything to help except make excuses (lies).
Resizing the feed is the most frustrating thing to me right now. When you go to resize, it cuts off all of the text and the picture.
I agree - this iteration of the blog is awful, terrible - a joke. It sucks! It is slower, less flexible and looks worse than the old blog. HOW COULD A DESIGN PERSON OR TEAM DEVELOP SOFTWARE SO BAD? Einat I urge you to resign because you are making excuses for a terrible product - and people have been pointing out sever/significant problems with the new blog for more than 12 months now...and there has been no fix(es). You should be personally ashamed of the new blog - it sucks. Robert DeCandido PhD in NYC
We are working on adding features to the new blog feed such as resize and adding more blog widgets for you to use. You are not forced to move until you are ready, so you can wait till the features are available. I suggest we will schedule a video meeting to discuss your needs. Please send us an email to blog.feedback@wix.com so we can schedule.
