A Simplified Version of the Excellent Ghostwriter Theme

What's Different

  • 'Home Page' shows post index instead of latest post by default
  • ...which obviates the need for 'latest post' and 'browse posts' buttons
  • Post index shows article tags in each post snippet
  • Removes RSS button from site header
  • Removes post index from author info page

The original Ghostwriter theme is excellent but I wanted something even cleaner.

Shout out to roryg for making a dope theme!

Static Pages and Navigation

Ghost 0.4 introduced static pages which you can use for making pages separate from your list of blog posts. There isn't however a way to output a list of static pages for navigation yet so you'll need to edit the navigation menu in the default.hbs file yourself. The HTML for the menu starts on line 37 of the default.hbs file and contains an example About menu item on line 40.

Troubleshooting

The Browse Posts link isn't working

If you're having trouble with the browse posts link not working make sure you're using the currect URL for your environment in your Ghost config.js file. I.e. if your Ghost site is being served on http://your-site-name.com make sure you use exactly that URL in your config.js file and not for example http://www.your-site-name.com
