Ghost is an open source, easy to learn alternative to WordPress for creating blogs.
This course has been completely updated based on rapid changes and improvements in Ghost since its earlier release!
If you're a writer looking for a way to express yourself, Ghost is for you. You'll be able to focus on your writing, not on learning how to use a complex Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress.
