Ghost!!!
Oh My God! Lol, this is not about Ghost story. And don’t need to be scary. I am
talking about a simple but very powerful Blogging platform which is called
Ghost.
The
idea of Ghost platform came from John O’Nolan, He was the former deputy lead
for the WordPress user interface team. But he found that huge complexity of
using WordPress for Blogging and other purposes. In 14th October
2013 Ghost was made available for the public via GitHub. Before final released they
have made changes several time on this platform. This is a UK based blogging
platform.
Fortunately
Ghost Blog has both free and paid system. You have to download the software
which is free to download and use, but users required to install the software on
their own server. In addition, Ghost offer paid hosted platform for used who
would like to run a live blog on the internet. To do this users have to pay a
monthly fee.
Ghost
platform build with multiple components such as, this is coded in Node.js which
is a server side JavaScript execution engine. It also based on Google’s V8. You
will see a bright and crisp display of this Blogging platform. And obviously you
would love it.
Ghost
Blogging platform is ideal for solo blog and full scale newspaper; however you
can customize the design to suit your needs. WordPress users have great
opportunity to move their Blog in Ghost platform. You will find Plugins on
WordPress pluing directory to transfer your WordPress Blog to Ghost blogging platform.
I will
show you how to create a Blog on Ghost blogging platform.
Step 1 First visit
https://ghost.org/ and Pick a username and write your email address and Password to create a Ghost Blog. After that press the TEST IT OUT button.
Step 2 Now Blogging
type selection page will appear. There you can choose either Pro version
which is best for daily Blogging or use software by downloading free software and
installing it on your own web server. This is ideal for developers. For
creating a blogging site press TEST IT OUT button under ghost PRO.
Instantly it will start installing your Blog on Ghost server.
Step 3 After
installing the ghost platform on server you will have 14 days trial period. And
within this trial period of you don’t feel comfortable, and then simply opt out
from that. Now it’s time to choose a appropriate Blog title and website address
for your Blog, but you can change it later. So write your Blog name and web address
according to your desire. For example I have written Blogger Spice as
Blog title and bloggerspice for web address. And my web address has
automatically generated by Ghost as bloggerspice.ghost.io. And now click
I’M READY, LET’S DO THIS button to proceed in next level.
Step 4 Now discover
yourself on Ghost Pro dashboard. From dashboard you can start writing
post by click on WRITE A POST button. But instantly Ghost setup option
will appear. This is required for writing a new content. But under a Ghost Blog
account several members can contribute. For contributing other participant you
have to invite others by adding their email address.
Step 5 From
Ghost setup option click CREATE YOUR ACCOUNT button. And write your Email
address, Full name and Password, finally hit the LAST STEP:INVITE
YOUR TEAM button.
Step 6 After that write contributors email
address one by one to invite other uses to contribute in your Blog. Finally
click INVITE 1 USERS button to finalize the account setup.
That’s it now you
can write content on Ghost blogging platform. And other users can contribution
after accepting your invitation. I have found this platform is extremely easy
to use and you would love to use it. But after expiring your trial period you
have to go with their paid subscription plan.
Ghost has $10 to $250
monthly subscription plan. Among various subscription users can decide and
select according to their needs. However you can get discount by using Ghost
Redeem Coupon Code.
If you want to give
a customize look on your Ghost site then you can use custom theme to make it
more beautiful and unique. Ghost support custom theme, many paid custom theme
is available on themeforest site. Grab your desired one for use it on your
Ghost Blog.
I hope this article
will give you a clear idea about Ghost
blogging platform. And help you to create a beautiful Blog with independent online publication feature.

I have seen that you are using Revenue hits.. After applying for AdSense if you use any other Affiliate ads then AdSense won't approve your site. So remove all other ads as soon as possible. And write few article within 1000+ words. Thanks
