Substation

Introduction to Substation

I built this theme to enable newsletter-first publications on Ghost.

Newsletters (free and paid) are becoming more popular, and in response Ghost now has built-in member and email newsletter features. This allows you to send out new content to subscribers every time you publish, along with premium content features and subscriber log-ins.

Most Ghost themes are great for normal blogs but Substation puts your newsletter first. The homepage displays a simple subscription box, with posts listed in an archive page. Members are fully supported, so you can lock content from non-members or put your content behind a membership paywall.

Features

  • the homepage is a simple subscription box and introduction
