If the only users on your WordPress blog are your co-workers / editors, don’t use SSO. It’ll just be an unnecessary complication. We use the wp-discourse plugin for [blog.discourse.org](http://blog.discourse.org), but we have no need for SSO. Everyone in the Discourse team has a separate login for the WP site. We’re not gonna start syncing 25k Meta users to our WP just so we can log in using our Discourse login.
