But using WordPress in that way is like using a computer to print a letter and then fax it to your recipient. It feels like an artificial restriction. We\u2019ve empowered individuals to publish what they want to publish, when they want to publish. Reinstating the print media workflows of the last century very much feels like a step backwards. Writers got a taste of true publishing freedom. Readers got a taste of what it\u2019s like to actually have a connection and conversation with a writer instead of just being delivered their words.
