May some #medium.com writers please explain me why they prefer to write there and don't deploy an own blog? I am curious.
@dragonluvr89 Maintaining your own blog takes resources, and comparatively speaking sharing posts on Medium requires less. I think there is also a perception that posts on Medium can be amplified and read more than perhaps posts on an independent blog would be.
@wfryer Thank you. What do you think of a wordpress blog? I have a medium blog but nobody ever reads it haha
@dragonluvr89 I love WordPress and have over 40 WordPress sites now that I maintain, but the security requirements surrounding these have definitely gotten a lot more complicated in the last few years, and it is not for the faint of heart or for non/technical folks. anding to host your content there.
@wfryer What tools are you using to manage that many sites? I'm playing around with wp-cli, which lets me check updates and upgrade from the command line.
@mr_rcollins I've used several in the past few years, currently using iThemes Security Pro for auto-updates across sites https://ithemes.com/security/
