Ben Ustick Thanks for highlighting this awesome plugin, Sarah. I think when discussing the Gust plugin, it is important to ask why not just use Ghost? What ends up being a major issue is that Ghost is built on Node.js, which won’t work on many hosting platforms, particularly shared hosting. This means you’d pretty much have to have a virtual private server and be technically knowledgeable enough to install Node.js and all its dependencies to get it to work. Additionally, Ghost is very young product, so it doesn’t have anywhere near the number of themes, plugins, and developers that WordPress does. For me the idea of bringing a Ghost type interface to WordPress is more appealing than actually using Ghost. Thanks again for a nice post. Ben
