RE: SteemPress answers to common questions and update to design
I've been using SteemPress for the past 4 months or so and love it. Happy to answer any questions ppl might have.

Simple question: I can’t seem to find the link to download the plugin. Do we have to search for it within our wp backend?
How can i as a new blogger benefit or even consider using #SteemPress, i'm really passionate to the potentials of this platform.
Hi lonelysoul, this is something I'm trying to help people walk through. Do you have a .com site of your own that can run WordPress?
No Sir, like I said I am just starting.
We'll, just start by learning how to use Steem. I see that cheetah flagged your first post. If you are passionate about your faith, that is ok, but you can't repost something somebody else wrote without attribution.
I really don't know anything about steempres ? How can I start ? should I just make a tag steempress or what ?
SteemPress is a plug-in for people who have WordPress blogs. It automatically cross posts their content to Steem.
ow...you really help me to understand, thank you
@protegeaa Is there a limit on the number of users we can add in the plugin? Also is there an option to noindex/nofollow the posts created in SteemPress? Do you have experience with any SEO issues after using the plugin and do you schedule your posts for a later date?
Thanks for the questions! I am currently experimenting with time delayed publishing to maximize SEO. I started with concurrent publishing, and am now at 20 minutes. I want to delay as long as possible without steem cleaners or cheatah flagging me for plagiarism (it's my own work, but that's not necessarily obvious to a bot).
I'm not sure of there is a limit on users but you can allow different authors on your blog to post to their own Steem account with their own posting keys, which is a new feature.
@protegeaa Thanks for replying to me so quickly, definitely going to look into this plug for my site, and good to know we can have different authors with different Steemit accounts as I was thinking about doing a community site for friends where we can all post from while using WP to edit will make things a little easier, plus the saved time is great.
I was worried what Cheetah etc would think, but I guess if we no-index/no-follow the posts then maybe they won't pick them up.
Definitely worth a test in my opinion, looks like a really good plugin to use on WP.
You can check out my blog on here, where everything in the last 5-6 months started on WP, and zero cheetah hits.
No need to worry about no index/no follow.
You can set up your friends accounts yourself if you have 14sp to delegate and .5 Steem per person. Vessel will help you do this. Better than having to wait for Steemit Inc to get to your friends' signups.
Hi @protegeaa thanks for the tip on friends accounts, and great to hear that you've not had any Cheetah hits! I do already have a couple of friends that are here on Steemit, one of them created my account so I wouldn't need to create any new ones, but it's really handy to know if we do.
Thanks again for answering my questions so quickly!
Hi @protegeaa I was wondering, do you know if SteemPress is compatible with custom post types with the new Divi 3.10 builder update? Just don't want to crash it or mess up the steemit posts is all.
I have no idea, sorry. @howo is the developer; you could ask him.
That's really great that you are willing to help others, @protegeaa. I'm just getting my WP site set up now. My plan is to create menus for several of the different types of posts I write (Short stories, micro fiction, and articles on writing), as well as a "blog". I plan to manually post snippets of my Steemit blog posts to the various pages on my WP blog, with links back to Steemit. Then as I post new things, I will post them to the WP blog (auto-posting at the same time to Steemit) and I will manually add links from the themed posts to the other pages (short stories, etc.).
Does this methodology sound like it will work?
Yeah, it should. Give it a try and see how it goes. Are you using Analytics for your blog?
I just shifted my delay time from WP to Steem to 10 minutes (from 0). Trying to up my SEO on my WP site...we'll see!
Well, I "have a guy." He's creating my site for me. If I did it myself it would happen in geologic time due to my busy schedule. I'm trying to decide whether to set it up as a website or purely as a blog. I decided on a website format -- i.e. menus for the different categories of content I post on Steemit, vs. a tag cloud.
I will definitely set up the time delay. Thanks for the tip!
