I have a blog since 1996 (25 years already) and the last version is still using wordpress (more than 2000 articles, 10Gb+) : http://www.iero.org/blog. I have a second blog with pictures of my family.
I discovered Ghost last week and I decided to give it a try. So I started to merge the two blogs and migrate (by hand as the automatic migration results gives very very bad results) to this one:
https://ghost.iero.org
I use casper theme with some slight modifications (lightbox and some other small things)
Ghost is a great product and the programmers have done such a great job. Itās simple and I use almost all functionalities. Some thins are missing, but no blocker. I really like the member part as I can write āprivateā articles on the same platform.
I also like to be able to deploy a ghost locally to live test my theme modification before uploading the result.
Thanks for this product and for this great community!
I just launched a shiny new ghost website; Conversation Culture.
We aim to improve the quality of our conversations and host online and offline discussion on philosophy, science, politics, spirituality and much more.
How have you integrated DO Spaces? Which storage adapter are you using and how is it configured?
I had a version working recently but now I canāt get it to work. Iām getting Internal Server Errors every time I upload an image. Iām not sure if itās my settings or my Nginx config.
One site focuses on deep analysis of cryptocurrency news(not English language): https://www.bt100.net/
Although i118n is not stable enough for ghost now, I am trying to build a non-english site with it. Hopefully after this journey I can get expert knowledge on both ghost and cryptocurrency.
After few years I decided to start writing on my blog again. Sadly my custom version of Casper died on v4 release, but I made myself a new theme. https://blog.eduardochiaro.com/
The new theme, called Impact has many ideas (and code) copied from the new Casper. if you like it the code is here: Impact (Github)
Looks nice. I would consider adding a live search to the menu bar and to let the visitor choose when to load more posts instead of the infinitive scrolling.
Not a bad idea. Iāll work on it. I did code in a normal pagination option but because the v4 doesnāt allowed custom configuration I just removed. When the custom options are back on I will add it all as options.
Just made this public although not promoted. Still figuring out redirects from legacy WP blog (complicated by redirect plugin on wp). Need better search (searches only titles, as was choking on fulltext - over 1.9K posts imported from many years of blogging).
Will promote a bit more when sort the above and have a bit more new content. Krabi theme.
Would also like to be able to organize legacy blog entries (under *ORWEBLOG tab) in monthly archive ⦠would like to find a theme/approach I could copy, as doing it from scratch myself beyond my current knowledge
Update: the main other functional gap I would like to close is the ability to (automatically) send out a monthly ādigest viewā of new blog posts that month. Of course, one could do this manually but would be nice if could just set it up to go on its own.
I came across this thread after a year or so with Ghost and clicked probably every second link - super useful and inspiring! Sharing my site too: https://beagle.dev/, built with Attila theme. Clean, free, highly recommended.
The problem is that I need to showcase my products, not my writing. I was desperately looking for themes to create a website similar to the one listed by @m1guelpf above - no single theme out there.
My initial bet on Ghost was because of page speed and SEO-friendliness, but I still want to fix the look. Are there any Ghost developers here? Iād hire one
