# Blogging & Publishing Channels: WordPress, Medium & More

> Publish to WordPress, Medium, Dev.to, Hashnode, Ghost, Notion, Bear Blog, and more from Volta. All use direct credential entry — no OAuth app needed.

Volta connects to the most popular blogging and publishing platforms, letting you write once and publish everywhere. Whether you maintain a self-hosted WordPress site, a Hashnode blog, or a minimal Bear Blog, you can compose your content in Volta and push it to your publishing destinations on a schedule. This section also covers Google My Business, Listmonk newsletters, and Lemmy — platforms where longer-form or structured content makes sense.

<Tip>
  Every platform in this section uses **direct credential entry** — you enter a token or API key from the platform's settings page directly into Volta. No OAuth app registration or server-side configuration is required, making these the fastest channels to connect.
