Hi Dan,
I’ve been looking for such a directory, and have bookmarked around 30 sites now, happy to share the list with you.
I have found them by searching “Published with Ghost” +TOPIC e.g. “Published with Ghost” +philosophy or “Published with Ghost” +design. I have searched on the usual, but also Bing and DuckDuckGo so to get beyond top known sites and uncover small or new blogs.
Most sites use Casper or one of the standard marketplace themes. I haven’t seen a huge variety of tools used other than Disqus, but maybe I’m just not spotting them. What kind of tools were you looking for?
I posted a few weeks back a similar question, looking for inspiration, to see what different (i.e. not standard theme) things people were doing with Ghost. You can see that thread here: What do you blog about and what creative things have you achieved with your site?
From my searching, some good sites I’m now following include:
- Ghost Portal, with tips n tricks and theme reviews: [mod: dead link]
https://ghostportal.co - Ghost Inspire, a directory of blogs using Aspire Themes: https://ghostinspire.com
- One Man and his Blog, about digital journalism / web / tech: https://onemanandhisblog.com
- @denvergeeks is doing some cool tinkering across various ghost sites
- Steph Smith, writing about coding and dev, and the site that led me to Ghost: https://blog.stephsmith.io
Happy to share the other sites I’ve found, and very keen to see anything you’ve come across that’s doing things a bit differently. I’m particularly keen to find sites that are separating their homepage into tags instead of listing all posts, such as @fueko’s Shoji theme.
Cheers, Kate
