Thing is, the blog doesn't get many readers, but after talking to a friend at work about it, it sounds like Steemit might be a more appropriate platform to share my various ramblings and other things I find interesting.

Good decision, on steemit you might be able to quickly build a decent followership and get the attention your content deserves.
Welcome to the platform, Nick!
Your field of interest sounds quite inspiring, I will follow you for future blog posts :-)
Enjoy your time
