You can self-host Ghost for free: https://github.com/TryGhost

If you're going to create a new account to hide behind in order to criticize someone else's work, you ought to at least be correct in your criticism.

This account is suspicious. It appears to have been created solely to denigrate Ghost.

Give the name, I would say they're warming up on Ghost before they take on all of SaaS. Little do they know this kind of thing never lasts.

Or you could install it yourself for nothing (other than your time and hosting costs, of course, but if you have the time spare and a server/VM with available resource already...): https://ghost.org/docs/setup/

Thanks for the comment. I honestly didn't consider trying it on a VM. I've been thinking of migrating my blog off of wordpress since I don't really like my old design and the actual writing interface isn't great. However I didn't want to have to mess with getting it on my AWS instance if it wasn't going to work.

I'll stage it up locally and see how I like it. I used ghost for a while in the 1.0 days, but I had an issue with an upgrade and I ended up switching back to wordpress. I also was super into single pane transparent design at the time. These days I just want my writing to be easy to read and navigate. Cheers, and thanks again.
