Static Pages and Navigation

Ghost 0.4 introduced static pages which you can use for making pages separate from your list of blog posts. There isn't however a way to output a list of static pages for navigation yet so you'll need to edit the navigation menu in the default.hbs file yourself. The HTML for the menu starts on line 37 of the default.hbs file and contains an example About menu item on line 40.

Fonts

robowriter uses URW Garamond as main font. The TrueType font files are included in this repository and are licensed under the Aladdin Free Public License.

robowriter uses the free Adobe Source Code Pro fonts for display of inline and performed code. The font is included from Google Fonts.

Troubleshooting

The Browse Posts link isn't working

If you're having trouble with the browse posts link not working make sure you're using the currect URL for your environment in your Ghost config.js file. I.e. if your Ghost site is being served on http://your-site-name.com make sure you use exactly that URL in your config.js file and not for example http://www.your-site-name.com
