    Of course I read what you wrote. Otherwise I wouldn't comment. None of these issues which you listed as pro Wordpress exist on the Steem. Let's see:

    • hosting affordability - well on Steem you host the content for free and plus you get paid for it if there is any good value in it
    • developing ease due to the availability of plugins and themes - producing content on Steem doesn't require developing any additional software and users can consume it through lots of different gateways (steemit, partiko, etc.)
    • easy maintenance of the site - well, obviously there is no maintenance needed if you are a content producer on Steem
    • and to access the Steem Press curation service - not needed if you post directly on Steem.

    And not forget the fact that you are trying to promote Steem on a completely different platform. That behavior possibly can signal to some potential new users that Steem and its apps is not worth enough to post blogs and articles on it.
    I was trying to be objective and constructive as much as I can. Nonconstructive would be to say that promoting Steem and writing Steem tutorials on Wordpress is oxymoron.

      Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately, you are missing the point. You seem to be confusing the clients with the Blockchain.

      Steem is a headless CMS solution. The clients you mentioned(Steemit, Partiko, ...) are simply software used to publish to Steem, the very same way that WP is also a software used to publish(and supports publishing to Steem, which I did clearly say we would do).

      So basically there is no difference between posting to Steem from WP or Steemit or Partiko. They are simple software, Steemit doesn't make your posts more "Steem" worthy or whatever, nor does using Partiko make you more "loyal" to the Steem community.

      These clients are typically blogging interfaces, so you cannot have your own domain, a custom set of pages, support for multiple-authors(except posting on the guest's behalf or using Peer Query's muti-author support for project blogs) or your own brand.

      You cannot build a universal authority blog on a Steem client, as you would be dependent on clients not designed for that. The closest is the http://engrave.website' project.

      Perhaps you should visit their site and understand why they build such a solution. Steem clients are custom clients, they have their own limitations.

      Building a conventional blog gives you more choices, control, and exposure than you can get from relying on your social blog on any Steem client.

        OK. My bad. I missed that part where you explained that your WP website will run on Steem. Anyway, IMHO that's an overkill. And users would better adopt Steem and understand concept from tutorials and other content posted on native Steem clients.
