How To Use WordPress To Format Your Steemit Blog
This is a response to several inquiries I’ve had recently about how I format and publish on Steemit. I’ve developed some workflow systems that people may find valuable.
<h2>In this video I show you:</h2>
<ul>
 	<li>How I use Evernote to jot down ideas on the fly.</li>
 	<li>How I use Google Docs to write because of the auto-save and ease of use.</li>
 	<li>The “Add-ons” feature that allows you to transfer a Google doc to a WordPress draft and retain formatting.</li>
 	<li>How I let WordPress generate the HTML format needed for Steemit.</li>
 	<li>How and Why I’m building two blogs at the same time, <strong>without doing twice the work.</strong></li>
</ul>
One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that WordPress is also a great place to host the photos for your Steemit articles. If anyone clicks on an image in my Steemit posts, they are able to view the full-sized hi-res photo from my WordPress. It’s seamless, so the viewer never knows it, but they actually are viewing my WordPress site and helping my SEO for<a href="https://liveallyourlife.wordpress.com/"> LiveAllYourLife.com</a>

A good example of this is found in my <a href="https://steemit.com/travel/@layl/youngs-river-falls-voluntarist-brotherhood-mc-ride-to-astoria-videos-and-photos">Waterfall Tour post that you can see here.</a> Lot’s of photos and videos that were all embedded easily by using WordPress to do the work for me.

<p style="text-align: center;">I thought I'd throw in a little extra formatting on this post just to show you. WordPress makes this so easy. The photo above is me, sitting on a cliff over the Columbia River. If you click on the image you'll be able to view the full sized version and check out how high I really am by noticing how small the railroad tunnel looks below.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">That page divider is simply a centered image. You can google "page dividers" and search images for tons more like it. Save it to your WordPress media and drop them into your posts for a nice formatting touch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">If you have better tools or time-saving hacks for posting to Steemit, formatting, or building an audience I’d love to hear from you!</p>
