It's pretty awesome right? Using all those kind of platforms to bring people here. As for a self hosted blog, it's getting less and less nedded these days with all the amazing features that I'm sure will come to HIVE...
That being said, I love SteemPress especially now that they post directly here!!
Thanks for the comments man, so much appreciated!
Having just watched Steem transfer to Hive and the huge efforts of all involved, I'm feeling that the community behind Hive is more likely to keep my posts alive than I am able to for a lot further into the future than all the various hosting accounts and subscriptions it takes to keep the lights on at brianoflondon.me.
