This seems like a great idea. I was an avid blogger on Wordpress (actually had several blogs) but since starting with steemit have pretty much been focusing on building participation in this community. To be able to integrate Wordpress with Steemit is ideal. I will, however wait. I think those among us who are adept at negotiating platforms and syncing different media will transition smoothly to the wordpress plugin. Those who are less adept (me) probably should wait until refinements have been added and the plugin is more user friendly. My biggest concern before listening to the interview was that I might be penalized for duplicate content. The interview addressed this issue and explained why this won't happen. Have to see if that works out in practice.
Good interview. Great idea. Hope it works out as intended. If so, should catch on quickly.
