Coming up later this month, Reclaim's Taylor Jadin is running a free community of practice session on Getting Started with Ghost for Blogging. If you are looking at trying out a new platform beyond Wordpress, this session offers a quick overview of using Ghost for blogging (and newsletters!) and how to get started.

Taylor has been experimenting with Ghost for some time, both on his own domain and also for this blog and our monthly newsletters as well as the popular flex course on Ghost.

If you are already using Ghost, come along and share what’s working well, and what you are stuck with. Sometimes trying out a brand new platform can really help put that spring back into your blogging step.

How we use Ghost here at Reclaim

We have been experimenting with Ghost ourselves for quite a while in addition to our Wordpress sites, and we currently use Ghost to publish our main regular newsletters, the Reclaim Roundup and our mid month email.

We also use Ghost for us a team to blog, share important service announcements and open practice case study.
