RE: Steemit or Wordpress, Now that is My Question
First, congrats on the 1800 followers on Wordpress, and as a blogger for the past 20 years, I have to ask, why give that up? You could easily set up an RSS feed from your blog page here, and feed content onto your WP site using IFTTT.com for free. Then you maintain your current platform and add a new one.
Hello @markrmorrisjr. As I mentioned in my post, I don't want my identity here on Steemit to be linked to my professional blog. The last thing I want to do is set up an RSS feed from my blog page here on Steemit to my Wordpress site.
My question is, are we allowed to have anonymous accounts and personas here on Steemit? And secondly, can we have two accounts?
Well, you said you were going to move it here. I was just suggesting another way. Ultimately, no matter how exciting this platform is, it would only ever be a subdomain on a larger site, not your own. I am suggesting it would be a mistake to let go of that. If you started a second account her, a great way to link them would be as I described.
No, I didn't say that. Please read my original post again as you don't seem to understand my predicament. I do not want to link my personal post here on Steemit to my professional blog. I don't want my friends, family and colleagues in my "real life" to know this other, more personal side of me since at some point I want to be able to write about some serious personal issues in my life here on Steemit. Linking the two sites would basically "out" me. Why would I want to do that?
Edited: Oh, now I understand what you were suggesting. Sorry for the confusion @markrmorrisjr.
Okay, good luck, you seem ready to argue and I am not here for that. You said, "I'm torn about whether or not to move my blog, presently located on Wordpress.org, onto Steemit." So I questioned the validity of moving a successful blog. I'mnot suggesting you link anything to your existing anonymous steemit. But, creating a new account, where you don't say anything inflammatory,but carry over the same personality as your current blog,is what I was suggesting. You get the best of both world, collect rewards on steem and have a blog that is already bringing you so much traffic. It's fine if you don't like my idea, but I do understand what you are asking. Perhaps I did not explain clearly enough.
