Projects and journal

Everything you publish in Ghost is a post. Index sorts posts into two kinds:

Project Journal entry
What it is A photo story News, notes, or longer writing
How to make one Any post without the journal tag Any post with the journal tag
Where it appears The numbered list on your homepage The journal page, /tag/journal/
How it looks Description and photos, in one of six layouts A reading column, like an article

So the only thing that makes a post a journal entry is the journal tag.

For exactly which field goes where, see make your first project.

In the strip and slideshow layouts, visitors move through the photos with the arrows on screen, the arrow keys, a mouse wheel, or a swipe on a phone. The other layouts scroll down the page. Clicking a photo opens it full screen. At the end, the next project is one click away.

To share a link that opens on a particular photo, add # and the photo’s number to the address. For example, yoursite.com/the-long-walk/#5 opens on the fifth photo.

Tag a post journal and write as you normally would. Every kind of block in the Ghost editor is styled to match the theme: images, galleries, quotes, videos, buttons, and more.
