Every User Should Try Out the New Steemit Test/Preview Site. It Works, But You Cannot Post Pictures, Yet!
Got to see a [post by @dantheman](https://test.steemit.com/steem/@dantheman/new-steemit-preview-w-notifications-and-medium-style-editor) regarding the introduction of new features, in a test site at https://test.steemit.com/

As with most of you, I too have been waiting to see more features which will make steemit more like a social media platform rather than the blogging platform it has become. User engagement is paramount if we are to take this forward, and the few changes I noticed are welcome!

So I drove straight in and logged in (with my posting keys, of course) to the test site and have written this post using the new editor on there!

And the first thing I noticed, a welcome one at that, was the ugly red blotch on my profile pic which informed me of the notifications I have received! Yay! Now it seems you will be notified onsite and you shall no longer have to stab the F5 key like a maniac. Great and about time!

And the other thing I noticed was the clean editor. The dev himself has compared it to the one on Medium by referring to it as a "medium style editor", and it looks simpler which non-technical users should find very inviting.

I am now almost fully using the test/preview site and shall do so till I find the other changes which have been incorporated. But I happy that something is done behind the screen to improve user experience, especially after the long gap in communication from the leaders.

I also see this coming at an opportune time when the value of steem seems to be picking up after almost a free-fall, and a noticeable addition of new features should halt the feeling of despair. Steemit has a long way to go and I am in for the long haul, and I hope the good days of steemit will start with this!

# PS: You cannot add pictures using the new editor, as yet! So I have none on this post :)

I could not view the horizontal editing icon in chrome. Firefox and ie could not load the site.

Just tried it and the same is happening to me! I no longer see the editing icons. I guess work is going on at the backend after all it _is_ a test site :))

Yeah right. I can now load the site using firefox but we need to load steemit.com first and change the address to test.steemit.com
