Hey. Thanks for taking a look.

except I'd want users to be able to make comments from Steem and from normal Wordpress comments.

That's the plan for the Wordpress plugin/version, totally possible although a lot more to figure out and put together before we're at that point. Ideally, it would be configurable so you could use all Wordpress, all Steem or both together.

In your example, it doesn't look like you can type the comment from the website, it seems like you have to comment on this post in Steemit. Is that right?

You should be able to comment from the website. I posted my initial comment from finallycomments.com so if it's not working for your something isn't right. You need to login on the right had side but then you should be able to comment and upvote like you can on steemit.
