Writing and managing content using Ghost, an advanced guide

Ghost comes with a best-in-class editor which does its very best to get out of the way, and let you focus on your material. Don't let its minimal looks deceive you. underneath lies powerful editing tools that is designed to meet the vast demands of today's creators.

For many, the base canvas in the Ghost editor is familiar. It is possible to begin writing the way you'd like, and highlight text to get access to the toolbar you would expect, and generally use all keyboard shortcuts you'd anticipate.

The primary goal in developing Ghost editor Ghost editor has been to try and make as many things that you hope/expect might work and actually function.

• You can copy and paste raw content from webpages as well, and Ghost will do its best to correctly preserve the formatting.
• The image you pasted on your clipboard will allow it to be uploaded to the internet.
• The URL for a social network will create an embedded.
• Highlight a word in the editor and paste a URL from your clipboard on top: Ghost will turn it into a link.
• You may also copy (or create!) Markdown or Ghost is usually able to auto-convert it into fully editable and formatted content.

The goal, as much as is feasible, is for things to work so that you do not have to think too much about the editor. You won't find any disastrous "block builders" on this page, in which you have to open 6 submenus to select from 18 different but identical alignment options. That's not what Ghost is about.

What you'll find, however are dynamic cards that allow you to embed rich media in your blog posts, and to create stunningly written narratives.

Making use of cards

It is possible to insert dynamic cards within posts by clicking an (+) button, which is displayed on new lines, or pressing / on a new line to trigger the menu for cards. Many of the choices are straightforward and easy to use, like bookmark cards, that allow you to build rich links with embedded structured data:

or embed cards which enable you to quickly add content that you would like to make available to your viewers or embed cards from other or third party services:

If you dig deeperand you'll uncover more complex cards such as one that shows as an email in newsletters (great for personalized introductions) and a comprehensive collection of cards that are specifically designed for different types of images and galleries.

Once you start mixing text and image cards creatively and creatively, the entire plot of your story is altered. Suddenly, you're working with a completely new style.

It turns out that images and words can be a great combination. A great tale to share with people is often more effective when they feel, even for a moment like they are present in the same room.

Galleries and image cards can be combined in so numerous ways -- the only limit is your imagination.

Build workflows with snippets

One of the strongest characteristics of Ghost editor Ghost editor is its ability to generate and reuse content snippets. If you've ever used an email client with a concept of stored responses then this will be immediately intuitive.

To make a snippet from a text choose a bit of content in the editor that you'd like to re-use in future. Then, click the snippet icon in the toolbar. Give your snippet a name then you're done. Now your snippet will appear in the card menu, or you could search for it directly by using the / command.

This is a great method to save images that you may need to reuse frequently including a logo of your business or team image, or links to websites you are often linking to, or even introductions and passages that you want to remember.

There is also the option of creating complete outline templates for your posts to create a quick and reusable workflow that you can use to publish in the course of time. You can also create specific design elements to your article using an HTML card, then insert a snippet to insert it.

After you have a couple of helpful snippets in place It's hard for you to go back to your older method of digging into media libraries, and looking for the one item that you remember using at the other time.

Newsletters and publications in a simple method

If you're ready to post, Ghost makes it as effortless as is possible to send the new content to all your existing members. Click the preview button and you'll be given the chance to preview how the content will appear across Web, Mobile, Email and on Social.

It is possible to send yourself a sample newsletter to check that it is working in your email client, and after that, click the Publish button to choose whom to send it to.

Ghost has a simple designed, optimised email newsletter template which comes with settings to allow you to customize the colors and font. We've spent countless hours refining the layout to ensure that it is compatible with every email client, and performs well to ensure that emails are delivered.

So, you don't need to deal with the tedious process of building a custom email template from scratch. The work is already done!

The Ghost editor is powerful enough to perform whatever you would like it to do. If you do a bit of research it will be ready to go within a matter of minutes.
