Agreed about reproduction of posts...but curiosity got the best of me.
I wanted to see if it works (still waiting for site verification)
I did a junk post with some goofy text and added a picture to test cross-promotion formatting.
Once I have that info, I can determine whether to keep or toss it. The only good thing that I can see from keeping it is my email list. There a a whole bunch of people who get notifications when I post on my blog...none of them are on Steemit. Something to think about for audience growth.
