Wordpress has been the most popular website content management system in the last 15 years. I learned of it a few years ago, and I have come to accept that it is truly a remarkable project developed in this era. WordPress is owned by Automattic, and it is 100 percent free. Its source code is available for public contributions which means it is open to endless enhancements. WordPress has grown in recent times, and it has proven to be the most powerful, and versatile blogging platform housing various plugins and custom themes. Within the period I used the WordPress platform, I struggled to earn so, I had to look for an alternative. A few months ago, I found a steem blockchain plugin called Steempress while going through my steem blockchain feeds, I read it introductory post, and I was convinced to give it a whirl. I discussed it with my friends, and they were thrilled knowing that extra cash will be made.

The blockchain technology has improved different sectors since its launch. Like me, most platforms I'm using today are backed by the steem blockchain technology. The steempress is an example of a blockchain platform that has transformed my life. Within the last three months, I have earned more than my one year with WordPress.

What is SteemPress?

SteemPress is a decentralized WordPress plugin backed by the steem blockchain technology. It is managed by two professionals @fredrikaa and @howo. The SteemPress plugin aims at providing users with the possibility to earn steem tokens each time they author a post within a WordPress blog. What this means is that each time you author a post within the WordPress blogging platform, it appears automatically on the steem blockchain platform. So far, SteemPress plugin has two released versions. Version 2.3 and 2.3.1. The version 2.3.1 was released in the early quarter of this year, and it changelog can be accessed here

The advantage of using SteemPress plugin:

SteemPress plugin is known to be the breach connecting WordPress with the steem blockchain. I am thrilled to tell you that using the SteemPress plugin will benefit you in so many ways. Ever since I started using the SteemPress plugin, I have gained new audiences within the steem blockchain, I have earned steem tokens as income, and it has provided me with un-censorable storage for my contents. The good part is that SteemPress plugin converts your WordPress HTML codes into the steemit markdown formats automatically. Which means you don't need to do it manually. Furthermore, you can schedule posts, delay post, and define your tags.

Why I love SteemPress plugin is that it eliminates the process of posting separately within the WordPress and steem blockchain blogs. It eliminates the possibility of being flagged by @cheetah or @steemcleaners. I have difficulties understanding the markdown formats, but I was pleased to know that the SteemPress plugin’s post editor is easy to understand because it uses HTML codes.

Downloading and installing the SteemPress plugin requires tutorials. @scottyeage made a succinct article on it here. I recommend you check it out. Between 20 and 30 minutes should do the trick.

I downloaded the SteemPress plugin from, and I clicked on the clone or download tab displayed at the top-right corner.

A small window popped up requesting that I should download the zip file which I did. I proceeded to my WordPress admin dashboard which I had signed in, and I clicked on the Plugins tab which was situated within the left sidebar. I clicked on the Add new tab, then I clicked on the Upload Plugin and I uploaded the zip file which i downloaded. Immediately my zip file was uploaded, a link displayed, asking me to activate plugin and I did.

Synchronizing my WordPress account with SteemPress:

I learned while reading through the SteemPress tutorial that without synchronizing my WordPress account with SteemPress my post will not be displayed on the steem blockchain. I proceeded to the plugin tab within the left sidebar, and I scrolled down to locate SteemPress. SteemPress had three tabs. Settings, deactivate and edit. From the tutorial, I was required to click on the settings tab. After clicking on the settings tab, three text fields were displayed. Steemit username, posting key and tags. I wrote my username, posting key and my preferred tags then I was done.

Hi, and thank you for your contribution to the Steempress project. I appreciate your consistency in providing information on different useful projects.

I appreciate the information provided. However, the post could be better. You need to increase the editorial part of your content. I could get most of the information in this publication in other sites. I can even spot some repetition of information, which make reading a bit boring. I would appreciate a more in-depth review.

I urge you to focus more on sharing your thoughts, and experiences. Plus, It is essential that you have a broad knowledge of any project you want to write about. Last, the post could have another round of proofreading.

Thank you. I look forward to your next contribution.
