Very interesting, @paulag
I started blogging precisely to get away from my "work" type writing and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and that other people read what I wrote. That's going on 6 years ago on my original WP site. Things shifted and I neglected that when a few things happened. Including joining Steemit. Here my blogging changed completely and about a year to 18 months ago, found it necessary to post virtually daily. However, with New Steem and having built up a network, I'm feeling that pressure less.
That said, the type of post on which I spend the most time hasn't changed. I've also gone back to posting virtually exclusively from WP: I've now got a self-hosted site (as you've seen) which is a bit eclectic and from which I blog. I have stolen Steve Biko's maxim: I write what I like and have been surprised at the response.
Finally, and like you
What’s important to me, is that I enjoy posting. I do have a follow-up post on this to do.....as all this is leading somewhere......but as always.....it takes time to get things organized.

hehehhe I love your WP site. another factor of using steempress for me is advertising. I came to blockchain because the 'big boys' always made more from my content then I did. Now, steemit inc is doing the same with ads. Steempress and WP bring that control home :-)
