I certainly see that you don't have a high opinion of this move. I 
rather wish we had seen your feedback earlier in this process, as we've 
been discussing it for some time.

On the one hand, you can, in fact, still author in simple universal 
markdown, so that, at least, has not become more difficult.

The move to Wordpress is all about the things that it makes easier - if 
not for the author, in your case, for the consumer of the content. The 
ability to automatically promote this content to other social media 
outlets. The ability to schedule posts to go out at a particular time. 
The large ecosystem of plugins for doing all manner of things around the 
blog post. The ability to have a blog post in a draft, and give a team 
of people the ability to review it and see what it's actually going to 
look like when it's published.

We also simply wanted to merge the two blog presences to remove confusion.

I hope that we haven't lost you as an author with this move.
