Congrats and good luck! I too have recently taken on the role of a self employed creative and am doing my best to settle in to new routines and get all my business "infrastructure" together as well.

Steempress does still exist but has been rebranded to @exxp, so you'll want to look for it that way. I love that tool but I was just working on getting my own site up over the past couple days and I just have grown to hate Wordpress unfortunately! So it looks like I'll probably go with Squarespace instead even though it won't allow me to integrate with Hive as fully as I'd like.
