Welcome to Ghost

👋 Welcome, it’s great to have you here.

We know that first impressions are important, so we’ve populated your new site with some initial getting started posts that will help you get familiar with everything in no time. This is the first one!

Writing posts with Ghost ✍️

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 03:40:59 +0000

Ghost has a powerful visual editor with familiar formatting options, as well as the ability to seamlessly add dynamic content.

Select the text to add formatting, headers or create links, or use Markdown shortcuts to do the work for you - if that’s your thing.

Publishing options

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 03:40:58 +0000

The Ghost editor has everything you need to fully optimise your content. This is where you can add tags and authors, feature a post, or turn a post into a page.

Managing admin settings

There are a couple of things to do next while you’re getting set up:

Make your site private

If you’ve got a publication that you don’t want the world to see yet because it’s not ready to launch, you can hide your Ghost site behind a basic shared pass-phrase.

Organising your content

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 03:40:56 +0000

Ghost has a flexible organisational taxonomy called tags which can be used to configure your site structure using dynamic routing.

Basic Tagging

You can think of tags like Gmail labels. By tagging posts with one or more keyword, you can organise articles into buckets of related content.

Apps & integrations

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 03:40:55 +0000

There are three primary ways to work with third-party services in Ghost: using Zapier, editing your theme, or using the Ghost API.

Zapier

You can connect your Ghost site to over 1,000 external services using the official integration with Zapier.

Creating a custom theme

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 03:40:54 +0000

Ghost comes with a beautiful default theme called Casper, which is designed to be a clean, readable publication layout and can be adapted for most purposes. However, Ghost can also be completely themed to suit your needs. Rather than just giving you a few basic settings which act as a poor proxy for code, we just let you write code.
