Writing for Ghost

ThiefMD supports adding a title, uploading images, and publishing the post in a “Draft” or “Published” state.

Adding a Title

At the start of your file, you need to add a little YAML front-matter to specify the title.

---
title: My Awesome Post
cover-image: /images/brooke-cagle-happy-people.jpg
---

You can add a cover-image to be featured in your post. It’s optional, but adds a bit a flare.

Adding Content and Images

For content and images, just use Markdown after the YAML frontmatter.

---
title: My Awesome Post

Hello Ghost! This is what happy people look like.

It's probably because they don't have write good turned on.

With this, ThiefMD will be ready to upload your images and you post through the Export window. Right-click on the post you want to publish, and click Export.

In the window, you can select my-ghost.blog/user as the Export Option. A Drop Down for “Draft” or “Published” will appear. If you’re ready to publish immediately, change this to Publish.

As long as everything looks good, click on Export. ThiefMD will upload any images, and then send the contents to your Ghost blog.

Once everything is done, links will appear to access the post, or Ghost’s online editor.

Happy Writing!
