👋 Welcome, it's great to have you here.
|
|
|
|
We know that first impressions are important, so we've populated your new site with some initial **getting started** posts that will help you get familiar with everything in no time. This is the first one!
|
|
|
|
**A few things you should know upfront**:
|
|
|
|
1. Ghost is designed for ambitious, professional publishers who want to actively build a business around their content. That's who it works best for.
|
|
2. The entire platform can be modified and customised to suit your needs. It's very powerful, but does require some knowledge of code. Ghost is not necessarily a good platform for beginners or people who just want a simple personal blog.
|
|
3. For the best experience we recommend downloading the Ghost Desktop App for your computer, which is the best way to access your Ghost site on a desktop device.
|
|
|
|
Ghost is made by an independent non-profit organisation called the Ghost Foundation. We are 100% self funded by revenue from our Ghost(Pro) service, and every penny we make is re-invested into funding further development of free, open source technology for modern publishing.
|
|
|
|
The version of Ghost you are looking at right now would not have been made possible without generous contributions from the open source [community](https://github.com/TryGhost).
|
|
|
|
## Next up, the editor
|
|
|
|
The main thing you'll want to read about next is probably: [the Ghost editor](/the-editor). This is where the good stuff happens.
|
|
|
|
> By the way, once you're done reading, you can simply delete the default **Ghost** user from your team to remove all of these introductory posts!
