been using this for a while

things i've noticed so far (.3.0):

- no dash yet

- no view posts by category feature

- no list top 10 most recent posts

- kind of confusing or redundant mvc abstraction

i hacked up a view posts by category and a template swap by hostURL in a few hours but the code is really abstracted. it will probably make sense later when all the features are implemented though.

good:

- easy to install

- love the editor

- love the admin

- templates are handlebars and easy

i've been following this for ~6 months now and am stoked to use it. congrats on your release. can we please have a CMS style feature were we can edit some static pages to go into our blogs! PLZ!

Hey ... I've been playing with Ghost now for a few hours and wondering if you've gotten any new templates set up, or have tips for template tweaking? I'm a newcomer to bourbon and sass ..

yea ive made a few templates

i recommend just copything the casper folder and renaming it. (content/themes/casper)

make your own stylesheet and comment theirs out (it, styles, everything). theirs is screen.css.

you can comment out the ghost included {{body_class}} and {{ghost_foot}} by changing them to {{!body_class}} and {{!ghost_foot}}

after that its just 3 files, default.hbs which is a global template (so its like the html head body tags), and then they insert the body at {{body}}

the body comes from index.hbs or post.hbs, which will be index.hbs: 6 article summaries in a list with a page at the bottom. and post.hbs which will just show 1 post.

the data in the post and index hbs files (handlebars templates) has stuff like {{eachpost}} {{post}} which is all you really have to keep out of those files

Looking at the client side code makes me wonder why people would ever use Backbone. It's so abstracted, mixes DOM manipulation into views. I should re-write it with Angular! :)
