Do you have a WordPress blog and you wanted to post those here in Steem to monetize?
Have you ever wanted to post your WordPress blog posts to Steemit or to any Steem-related platform? Then here's a solution that I built for that! :)
You can now easily publish your WordPress blog posts through Steem blockchain with the plugin integration I created for WordPress that let's you do that. It's named WordPress Steem.
I saw that there were requests in the past to build this integration and it probably wasn't picked up with the developers before because there no stable APIs available.
Monetization
You can now easily monetize your WordPress blog with the use of the Steem blockchain. You just have to download the plugin, activate it, set the proper settings, and you are good to go!
Easy Synchronization
If you have any revisions on your WordPress blog post, you can easily make a request to update that to reflect in the Steem blockchain. How cool is that? :D
Support
Please let me know your thoughts or if you require assistance or support with your WordPress blog for installing this plugin. :)

To me, I feel like this is just going to flood the blockchain with blogspam.
There's nothing I hate more than someone taking a copy/paste from their blog and dumping it into Reddit as if it's original content. In most cases they don't even bother with formatting.
I feel that a plugin like this just encourages bad behaviour.
Yes, I do understand your point. There will always be pros and cons for tools and I agree that this tool could be used for malicious ways like spamming.
However, the sole purpose and goal of the plugin is to aid legitimate WordPress bloggers sync their blogs to the Steem blockchain. One other reasons why I created this tool is to endorse Steem to the WordPress community.
Anyways, there's a 5 minute cooldown when posting to the Steem blockchain. There's also a mechanism in place for spam and plagiarize content. One example is the @cheetah project.
Another reason to consider the option for only posting to Steemit and reading the feeds instead of having a WP db for posts :)
As for that, I'm thinking of co-existing both mediums. As for the feeds, there's already a plan to integrate it on the plugin on WordPress Steem to display your posts, comments, or from other users or specific tags in the next version of the plugin. :)
Having posts published on two websites could possibly end up having the website penalized by search engines.
Hello @moataz, I see. What can you recommend to avoid this? Thanks! Greatly appreciate your input.
Hey mate,
Well that's a tricky question.
But to my best knowledge I believe that since the posts will be published on the blockchain - they also should be retrieved directly from the blockchain; if there's an option to either post on the blockchain only or have a version saved locally on the database as well; that'd be ideal.
So if there's some way to display posts individually through identifiers from the blockchain or have some invisible iframe from steemit; that'd be best.
In a perfect scenario there'd be the option to post comments / upvote / downvote or flag through the blockchain.
Hello mate,
Thanks for that thorough explanation. Yeah, that makes sense. I'm still thinking though about users who have older WordPress posts and they want to post it on the Steem blockchain.
