Glasnost v0.9 released: now with multichain sources and updated posts feed design - publish your Steem blogs on your own domain
This release unlocks multichain publishing from both Steem and Golos chains. Previously one could only use Glasnost to publish blogs on one's domain either from Steem chain or from Golos chain. Not anymore! Source blockchain setting can now be configured per individual author. In this release I'm also experimenting with a new iteration of posts feed design for index and tags pages. The project's UI is currently in flux and most probably will be reworked in the near future.

Feedback
If you have any requests or feedback, please get in touch with me: ontofractal at protonmail.com or steemit.chat.
So, for the past while I've been considering consolidating all of my blogs into one site. And also considering publishing solely on the Steem blockchain. This is the "killer feature" that will allow me to properly do this - migrate my Jekyll posts to Steem, then the Wordpress ones, and the Blogspot ones, followed by serving the whole lot on my own domain using this.
Many thanks for your efforts, I'll have a look at the code later and report back with any bugs over on Github :)
Thanks and your contributions are welcome, @synapse :)
Awesome! Although, for SEO reasons, this can only be truly effective once Steemit integrates a Medium-esque way of using custom domains to prevent robots to detect your articles as duplicate content (hosted once on Steemit, and once on your own domain). Is this accurate?
Thanks, @deanpress! I'm not sure it's possible to prevent anyone to duplicate Steem blockchain content on the web (blockchain explorers, etc). So I think you can just go and host your blog on your domain :)
Interesting. Reading and watching!
Very good :)
Thanks! :)
you are welcome :)
Yes please! Does this mean when I get my domain online again I can have my Steemit blog embedded right into my web page?
Well, Glasnost is more like a blog publishing app, not entirely dissimilar to engines like Wordpress and you can host your Steem blog on your domain, but you would need to jump through some hoops to embed Glasnost HTML responses into some other webpage.
Nice post. Thanks a lot @ontofractal =)
thanks, @gsdalex :)
nice....your post deserve upvote and resteem....
Interesting. Can you direct me somewhere I can find a detailed tutorial on how to set it up? 😍
Have a look here, @nirmal :)
Thanks :)
