Ah, a meta blogging post. Sorry, I try to keep these to a minimum…

For those who haven’t been caught up in the hype yet, Ghost is a new blogging system that is much more minimal than WordPress and the other more popular systems. It’s designed to be much smaller and faster (plus it uses a lot of cool tools like node.js, handlebars etc).

I recently tried to set up the 0.3.3 release on FreeBSD and overall it was straight forward. Node.js is available as a port - just make sure that you’re installing the regular node port instead of the node-devel port as the latter will install node 0.11 and Ghost wants to use 0.10.
