Sticko - A free Ghost theme :)
About this theme
I've been working as a UI/UX Dev and Art Director for the last 12 years. I've also been using the web as a huge source of information for my personal and professional career. sticko is my own way to give back something i love and live for to the internet community: a clean, modern, responsive and free theme for the emerging -and absolutely amazing- blogging platform called Ghost.
I really hope you like it and feel free to use this theme for whatever purpose you want.

Ghost does not let you specify a cover/featured image yet, but sticko allows that functionality just by specifying the proper alt property of the desired image:

Thanks to Thomas Cullen for this great workaround.
