Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a reblog button, so instead here is a link to his informative and valuable post.
I was recently asked to participate in short interview for another blogger, Krish Mayani. The first time this has happened to me!

I finally managed to get one of the many tips to work. One issue was that I have ‘Two-Stage Verification’ on my Account Settings. Once I worked out how to get into that, I used this easy tip, and now have access to the Classic Editor every time.
