About page

make the page

1. In Ghost Admin, click Pages (not Posts), then New page.
2. Give it the title “about”. Its address should be /about/, which you can check in the page settings.
3. Add it to your menu under Settings, then Navigation.

your bio

Write your bio as normal paragraphs at the top of the page.

your CV

Index turns simple lists into a tidy CV.

1. Add a heading for each section, for example “exhibitions”, “awards”, or “publications”.
2. Under it, add a bulleted list, one entry per line.
3. Start each entry with a year, for example 2025 Solo show, Gallery Name, Lisbon. The year gets its own column.

If an entry has one link in it, the whole row becomes clickable. Links to your own projects work well here.

your photo

1. Add a feature image to the page in its settings. This is your portrait.
2. Go to Settings, then Design & branding, then Customize, then the Theme tab.
3. Set Page photo to left of bio, right of bio, or above bio. It’s hidden until you choose.
4. Set Page photo shape to portrait, landscape, square, or original.

layouts

Choose a layout in Settings, then Design & branding, then Customize, then the Theme tab, under About layout. It works with the same page, so you can switch at any time.

Layout	What it looks like
Classic (the default)	Your bio as a reading column, with your CV in ruled sections below
Statement	The first paragraph of your bio set very large, like a pull quote, with the rest in two columns
Ledger	Every dated CV entry in one list, newest first, with its section beside it. Buttons at the top show just one section, such as awards or exhibitions. Sections without years, like contact, follow below at the same width.
Split	Your portrait fills one half of the screen and stays in place while your bio and CV scroll beside it. Needs a page photo.
Newspaper	The first paragraph as a headline, the rest of your bio below it at the same width, and your CV sections packed into columns like a newspaper

The Page photo setting still chooses whether your portrait shows and where. The split layout always shows it: set Page photo to right of bio to put it on the right half, and any other choice puts it on the left. Page photo shape doesn’t apply to split, because the portrait always fills its half of the screen.
