The Steem News @ 18 September 2024 : SteemNews.com going live on Press4Steem

A new SteemNews.com site is being launched powered by Press4Steem.

Steemit Inc is inviting applications for Community Curators for October.

Today’s Steem News also includes Developer Updates, Meetups, and Contests…

1. Press4Steem in Action !

A couple of years ago what is now the Pennsif.Witness team developed Press4Steem – a plugin for linking WordPress sites directly to Steem…

• Press4Steem : A new project from SteemWOW & Pennsif

Due to other commitments that project lay dormant for a while, but now it is being revived to publish SteemNews simultaneously on its own website and on the Steem blockchain.

It is hoped this will help give more external visibility to all that is happening on the platform.

The website will be developed on steemnews.com with a number of added features to follow.

SteemNews will be used to more vigorously test and refine Press4Steem.

Once it is proven to be robust enough it will be made available for others to use if they already have or would like to have a WordPress website.

Pennsif the Witness

After almost 2000 days on Steem I decided it was time to take my contribution to the platform to the next level.

I have therefore set up as a Steem witness… @pennsif.witness

If anyone would like to support what I already do, and what I am planning to do, by giving one of their 30 witness votes to @pennsif.witness I would be hugely grateful.

You can read my full witness announcement here…
