> You did that double

Thanks for that.

The WordPress plugin should post the complete post. I didn’t notice any option that it would post only an excerpt. That’s an interesting point though... there is no doubt that some large(r) scale media properties will publish their excerpts on Steem to get additional views.

I genuinely think that the WordPress plugin will vastly contribute to the growth of Steem but it will depend on the team’s biz decisions when they start marketing it. The selection of bloggers/publishers they will first invite will be of utmost importance because they will need to understand profile building. On yet another network.

As a former publisher of a medium-sized indie blog network I am not entirely convinced it will lead to investment though. And when, I would only invest because the investment could be used to offset a (small) part of wages.

While SteemPress still needs a lot of work, Steemians need to understand that the Steem blockchain an open internet of infrastructure is and that at some point... well this ain’t 2005 blogging anymore. The scope needs to be broader than the internal scope and writing most is now. If given the opportunity I bet ‘blogring ribbons’ would be absolutely popular and all over Steem. Some footers definitely validated that.

But we will only attract if we actually write as if it weren’t for Steem. SteemPress is working at opening that up. Keep an eye on them. ;)
