Blogging · WordPressYour blog, on the same calendar as everything else.
The one channel you actually own has always been the one planned somewhere else. Connect your WordPress site and the post goes out from the same composer, at the same hour, as the announcements pointing at it.

What changed in the 3.0 release
Three things moved this month, and one of them is the reason the dashboard now loads before you finish reading this sentence.
A caption in, a real post out.
A WordPress post is not a status update, and it does not arrive as one. Your post becomes the body, your images follow at the end of it, and the title is yours to write — nothing is promoted to a headline you did not choose.
- The body arrives as paragraph blocks, not one opaque lump
- Anything you schedule can still be edited on the site afterwards
- A title only if you want one — nothing is invented for you
Your images land in your media library, not on a link.
A post whose pictures are served from somewhere else is a post with an expiry date. Everything you attach is uploaded to your own site instead, sits at the end of the post at its own proportions, and is yours to reuse afterwards.
Every image is uploaded to your own site, so the post keeps working whatever happens to the original afterwards — and you can reuse them there like any other upload.
A post, with a post's rules.
These follow from how WordPress itself works — worth knowing before you plan a series around it.
Connecting takes your site address and an application password, which you create under Users → Profile in your own WordPress admin — it is not your login password, and you can revoke it there at any time without changing anything else. Two things worth checking first: the site has to be reachable over https, and a security plugin that strips the Authorization header or switches the REST API off will turn the connection down.
One draft, the post and its announcement.
The long version goes to your site, the short version to X, LinkedIn and Facebook — each under its own limit, each at the minute you choose. Writing the article and telling people about it stop being two separate jobs.
How publishing worksKeep the blog from going quiet
A feed trigger and an AI agent are enough to draft the write-up for every release, waiting as a WordPress draft for you to approve on the schedule you set.
