It includes my book notes and posts and things I’m learning (there are several Ghost-specific posts as well).
I’ve used WordPress in the past and Ghost is a breath of fresh air! I just wanted a simple post editor and no excess cruft so I can have a lean, mean, lightweight website (thank you Ghost Team).
Theme is Weblog by Curiositry. I use Plausible.io for the analytics and DuckDuckGo for search. Want to figure out some options for commenting and email signup, but will get to that next.
After faffing about for months, I finally launched my Ghost blog using a customised Renge theme from the incredible Fueko. SmartStrongStylish.com is a blog about ‘personal development for the insatiably curious’ – I’m starting with writing about personal growth challenges (at the moment, kettlebells and keto) and expanding into authentic and personable stories about growth, change and resilience with a strong leaning to evidence-based sources. I plan to implement full memberships in the near future, still researching ideas for best building the kind of community I want to foster.
Customising Fueko’s theme was really easy, with great variable styles to choose from out of the box or customise completely. @John I’m not sure if you heard me from my corner home office down here in Oz, but I’ve shouted “I love you” so many times my husband wants to know who this John fellow is Ghost is just so. much. fun. and so reinvigorating a space to write and publish.
Glad to see this thread lives on with more blogs to read - I find Ghost users write more insightful and in-depth content than I have found elsewhere and it’s so delightful to stumble across a thoughful article, view the footer and realise “of course its good, they use Ghost!”
DesignerUp looks absolutely fantastic, and a good read too - bookmarking and sharing
Out of curiosity, are your Courses pages (like your Product Design one) a Ghost page or are you using a mix of platforms?
Few week before I started Ghost based blog.
The key motive of the blog is : Real life stories and positive news in a Narrative way. https://kahaniguru.com/ is my blog .
Theme is based on liabling and I did my own customisation over it.
Greeting from Indonesia! Our blog is using casper theme with some modifications. We are developing clean and seo friendly theme based on tailwindcss. Here’s our blog: https://sepadapost.com
My friend Shadi Hamid and I recently moved our podcast and newsletter to Ghost. Built this theme from scratch. We used to host the podcast on a Wordpress site, the newsletter on Substack, and were trying to get people to pay on Patreon. This is, I think, much better.
I am new to the blogging world. Just put up a few articles to start with. Here is mine cybercafe.dev. Using casper theme with a few customizations like Syntax Highlighting, Tags page, scroll marker, user controlled theme switch etc.
Recently added Progressive Web App support so now my blog works offline too:-)
Ghost is just so. much. fun. and so reinvigorating a space to write and publish.
