15 个免费的 Ghost 博客主题
Ghost 是一个开源的博客平台, 可以把他看作 WordPress 的一个挑战者. 现阶段的 WordPress 已经可以明显感觉到有些臃肿不堪, 无论是构架, 设计, 还是实现处处都显示出这是一个 10 年前就诞生的项目, 尤其是最近几个版本更新, 几乎都只是在功能和交互层面作出改进, 而看不到本质上的进步和优化. 因此我更愿意把 Ghost 看作 WordPress 的继任者. 同时, Ghost 基于 JavasSript 的 Node.js 进行开发, 在可预见的未来里, JS 无疑比 PHP 有着更多的优势.
先简单说一下我认为 Ghost 具备或即将具备的几点优势:
- 从头写起, 比 WordPress 等现行博客平台少了许多「 历史遗留问题 」;
- Node.js 本身是一个非常优秀的平台;
- 采用实时架构, 大大提高访问体验. 而 WordPress 前端完全依靠 jQuery, 任何一个动作都需要重载页面;
- 非常简洁, Zip 安装包只有 1.7M, 部署完成之后在 30M 之内. 运行效率比 WordPress 高上一个数量级;
- 专注于博客内容本身, 而不需要用户去关心博客平台的种种问题. 采用了 Markdown 编辑器, 有着非常棒的写字体验;
- 搭建极其简单( 至少 Windows 下本地搭建是这样的 ), 可以说不需要任何编程基础, 降低了写博客的门槛.
当然咯作为一个新生的博客平台, 现阶段还存在较多的不足. 不过考虑到目前仍处于 0.3.3 版本, 连稳定版第 1 版都算不上, 可见开发者仍然对 Ghost 充满了信心.
- 目前的功能太少, 后台可以说是简陋不堪. 不过在 Ghost 开发者的博客中提到 0.4 版本中才会加入 Dashboard 的功能, 那么目前的暂时算作迷你后台吧;
- 目前支持 Node.js 的空间商少之又少, 很难将 Ghost 发布出去. 这个页面有 说明这点, 目前只有Amazon EC2, DigitalOcean, Rackspace Cloud 等云服务商, Webfaction, Dreamhost 等 VPS 服务提供商能够托管 Ghost, 而采用 cPanel 面板的一系列独立主机以及虚拟空间都是为 PHP 服务, 所以无法支持 Ghost;
- 主题和插件的数量远不及 WordPress, 目前官网只有十个左右的主题供下载或购买, 而且质量不敢恭维.
- 很多基本功能在现在的 0.3.3 版本中还未出现, 比如多用户登陆, 发起评论等. 目前只能通过 Disqus 等评论系统来实现评论功能. 不过这些不是大问题, 接下来的版本中肯定会给予解决.
