I developed the theme used on this site from scratch and have made it available as free open source software. You can see the code here

If you are running Ghost on your site, you are welcome to try out the theme. You can download a copy of the installation zip file from the new demo site below

Feel free to leave feedback, requests etc either here or on Github. I'll be doing some more posts in the future in what's involved in creating a theme for those who are interested in the technical side.
If you are unfamiliar with Ghost, it is a solution for publishers and bloggers to create and share their content and it comes with modern tools to build a website, publish content, send newsletters & offer paid subscriptions to members. It is entirely open source and run by not-for-profit organisation.
I used to run this site on Wordpress and migrated to Ghost a few years ago - I haven't regretted the decision for a moment.
The Ghost team provide a very reasonably priced hosted solution, or if you prefer you can self-host for free. If you would like more information on self-hosting, there are a few articles below to get you started.
