Introduction to Orbit

Orbit is a smart, minimal blogging theme with large visuals.

A homepage full of post images and large hero images on posts will make your site visually appealing to your readers.

There's full support for memberships and paid content, plus Ghost's latest content cards (like buttons, toggles and audio).

With easy colour customisations, the ability to have square or rectangle post images and options for showing data like authors, dates and tags, you can make Orbit suit your style with just a few clicks.

💬 If you have any questions, please email me or DM on Twitter.

⭐️ I offer Ghost hosting and concierge self-hosted installations.

Cheers!

Installation

Upload the theme ZIP

You can install the theme in Ghost by going to Settings > Design and clicking "Change theme" in the bottom left corner.

Then click "Upload theme" in the top right corner and select the Range ZIP that you downloaded after purchase.

Add your logo and icon

Go to Settings > Design and upload your logo and icon in the "Brand" section.

The "Publication logo" is shown on in the header and the footer. You should make the file as small as possible (Ghost doesn't automatically resize logos like it does with post images) and at least 600x72px. If you don't add a logo, the site title is used instead.

The "Publication icon" is used as a favicon (the icon shown in a browser tab) and can be shown at the top of email newsletters. This should be a small square image at least 60px by 60px.

The "Publication cover" is displayed on social media when someone shares a link to your site's homepage.
