Start Blogging in 2024 With Ghost Blogging Platform

This is not your typical reference book. It doesn't cover all of Ghost or all its quirks. Instead, we want to help you realize which Ghost publishing features you’d be foolish not to use. Features for which you almost never need to consider alternatives while blogging. Features that have passed the test of time by being the most popular blogging platform after WP on the internet.

Making blogging choices can be overwhelming. As developers/bloggers, we have to make many choices from what seems like unlimited options. The more you work with WordPress, the more problems we have with it when building blogs. WordPress has changed. What started out as a humble blogging platform targeted at enabling digital publishing for the masses, has evolved into a fully-fledged website CMS.

In itself, this is not a bad thing. I still think WordPress is an amazing platform, in fact I think it's the best CMS out there. But it's not what I want for blogging. There's too much stuff everywhere, too much clutter, too many (so many) options getting in the way of what I really want to do: publish content. - John, Co-Founder Ghost

Ghost is your ghost publisher. It does the hard work anonymously, getting your content online so you can focus on the most important things:

Ghost is developed by talking to its users, its designers, its developers, and companies who build businesses on top of it. It invites the people who do the most with it to help it grow and improve. It accepts and encourages new ideas. 

Getting Started With Ghost

Ghost is built on Node.js, which executes JavaScript code on the server rather than in the browser. Ghost is the world’s most popular open-source headless Node.js CMS — it ships with a default admin client and front-end, but you can also swap them out with your own JAMstack.
