First steps

Do these once and your site will look right straight away. All of them are in Settings.

  1. Your name. Go to General, then Title & description. The title is the big name at the top of your homepage.
  2. A short tagline. In the same place, the description appears in small text under your name, for example “documentary photographer, lisbon”.
  3. Your menu. Go to Navigation and add three links:
    • work, with the address /
    • journal, with the address /tag/journal/
    • about, with the address /about/
  4. An accent color. Go to Design & branding, then Customize, then the Brand tab. New Ghost sites start with a bright pink, and Index shows the accent on every hover, so change it first. The demo uses fog, a soft gray (#E8E8E8). See accent color for more.
  5. Your first project. See make your first project.
  6. The theme’s own settings. Go to Design & branding, then Customize, then the Theme tab. See site-wide settings.
