It makes it super easy to manage a blog. > > **Cons**: Some of the formatting is hard to fix if you copy and paste from another source. You can add HTML, but there's not a blanket HTML editor where you can fix any errors that you may have accidentally copied in. ----- ### "It is excellent for writing articles\!" — 5.0/5 > **noelis** | *22 June 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Is very nice, easy to use and configure. One very interesting thing that you have is the open source code. It is the best platform for blogs that I have used > > **Cons**: is very good for personal blog creation but for business needs more support and does not have many add-ons. Apart from that I have nothing more to say > > It is an excellent software for the creation of personal blogs, I really recommend it\! ----- ### "Ghost" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *04 February 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ghost offers a simplified way of imaging and has been reliable. > > **Cons**: I don't have the option to take snap-shots. > > UEFI has been an issue at times when using Ghost. ----- ### "Ghost is Easier than Wordpress and Very Convenient" — 5.0/5 > **Robyn Margaret** | *16 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The simplicity and cleanliness of this software makes blogging easy. It is open source so it is also free and you can add improvements as you see fit. The community surrounding this software is quite helpful and you can find help in many forums. Overall, it is an astoundingly simple and easy to use software that doesn't take any time out of writing. You don't have to work too hard, you can just focus on writing. > > **Cons**: It is rather limited to just writing. It does not have all of the awesome features and plug-ins that you can add with Wordpress. So while it is a nice and easy software to use, you will find yourself limited if you want to do more with it than just publish plain text blog articles. > > Easy usability ----- ### "Great blogging software in general, and easy to get started" — 5.0/5 > **Cameron** | *25 October 2017* | Consumer Services > > **Pros**: This software is SO easy to set up and use. You should probably know a little markdown (which would take 5 seconds to learn, or you can use the built-in cheat sheet/display panes), but this makes blogging great. > > **Cons**: It's relatively new, so it's not nearly as feature-dense as something with a plugin market like Wordpress. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2060065/ghost?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2060065/ghost) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
