We've released a brand new Ghost theme for local news publishers that is free and ready to use.
The Headline theme takes a thoughtful approach to displaying large amounts of content across various areas of coverage, and can be adapted to showcase your most popular topics.
With a few small setting changes, Headline can be adapted to suit almost any style of news publication, so you can still make it your own.
Get started today by installing Headline on your Ghost site and taking it for a test drive.
Wow ! Nice ! A few months ago, I’ve let down the hours of work and headaches after unsuccessfully trying to create my news / political blog, entirely codding by myself. I understood that I had to let go, because I was wrongfully trying to be a webdev and a webmaster and a security specialist while all I want is to be a writer and journalist.
I’ve found ghost -what an idea you had to make a comparission article opposing medium and ghost ! The problem was that I was fed up with codding and I didn’t even want to code my template but none of the free templates or even paid ones was -in my opinion- adapted to journalism -rather than just blogging- AND light, spaced, easy to read.
That, ghost team, that is the smartest move you could do. At the top of the “to do” list. It looks exactly how I ilagined it !
I’ll have to take time for the transition, though. I’ve been forced to correct bugs, to improve adaptiveness and to custom Attila and I’m quite proud of it, even if it isn’t structured how I want.
I like the look of this but was wondering if someone could guide me about if it has three things that I can’t seem to tell from the demo, but don’t know if they’re possibly hidden elsewhere.
Does this theme support memberships/subscription tiers integration with Stripe or is it strictly for free newsletters and email-only signups?
Is there a search function?
Is there an option to display multiple authors?
A 4th question but not entirely important is: Is there a dark mode switch?
It’s a fully-english theme… you probably have more than “latest” on your font page !
I entirely traduced it to french. French will not help you but as the theme doesn’t use ghost’s translation system and I wanted to do it the right way, I added it to the theme rather than just translating all the files directly.
If you want, I can provide you a link to my github fork so you can download it and edit the translation using the JSON that I made. I’ll also add yours to my fork so portugese users will be able to use your translated file.
My plesure !
That being said, you should be able to edit it… I’ve been building my site during Ghost’s trial period. You should be able to upload a theme but you can also dowload it by clicking on the three dots next to it
Thanks for your answer.
Indeed , it’s a bit annoying and I really like a sticky aside table of content.
I will to set the ToC like the official tutorial by changing the variables name. And other things.
I maybe publish it if it works.
