  Hi there,

  How do I add a photo?

  Just drag-and-drop it from Finder right into the editor, same as it worked in the classic editor.

  Or you can manually add an image block and upload the image from there:

  Image Block

  How do I change font color?

  You can change the color for individual words in a paragraph via the block toolbar that appears if you click inside a block:

  https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/paragraph-block/#text-color

  And you can change the text and/or background color for the entire block via the block settings in the sidebar:

  How do I pingback to another page?

  Pingbacks are generated when you add a link to another post/page/site inside the post or page you’re writing, and adding links in the block editor work exactly the same as adding links in the classic editor: Highlight the text you want to link from, and either paste in the link, or click the link icon in the block toolbar:

  In the 10 years that I’ve been with WordPress it was PERFECT. No one ever complained. But after the change I read several satisfied blog posts.
  When I was asked if I wanted to change, I opted out.
  Now I am being FORCED against my will. Not cool.
  This is so much more laborious.
  EX: When I hit the control button and the letter A. All type in the post was highlighted. I then hit the color I wanted and I was finished.
  NOW I have to go into each individual block to change the color. WHY???

  Featured Image will not let me drop the image in because it’s not “at least 1200 by 675 pixels.”
  The large images take up too much space so I was using smaller images to save space.
  But you have now taken that way from me.
  If I could change blogs hosts I would. Unfortunately for me, I am too invested in WordPress, which I USED to like very much.

  I just realized I can’t change font color.
  After I loaded a larger photo, I still can’t drag it to my post.

  Can you tell? I am not at all happy.

  You can still switch to the classic editor when writing/editing posts/pages in your site’s Dashboard: https://wordpress.com/support/dashboard/

  With that said, we do recommend the new editor though, and we have tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQs: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  And, if you really want to use something like the classic editor, we recommend sticking with the classic block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  We also have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/
