London

A custom, image-centric theme for Ghost. Made for publishers and portfolios with plenty of graphics to show off to the world.

Demo: https://london.ghost.io

Instructions

  1. Download this theme
  2. Log into Ghost, and go to the Design settings area to upload the zip file

Development

Styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS to polyfill future CSS spec. You'll need Node, pnpm and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:

bash
# Install pnpm install # Run build & watch for changes pnpm dev

Now you can edit /assets/css/ files, which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically.

The zip Gulp task packages the theme files into dist/london.zip, which you can then upload to your site.

bash
pnpm zip
