letterpress

A simple theme focused on letters and words

Roadmap to 1.0

• add Prism.js to include source code highlighting
• Improve blog title representation for SEO in <title> tags
• Make navigation adaptive based on Ghost navigation helper

Ghost Compatibility

This theme is tested and compatible with Ghost 1.21.7

The theme is based on the excellent Casper theme 1.3.4.

Ideas

Improve blog title representation for SEO in <title> tags

Problem

Current representation is {{@blog.title}} for the home page and {{title}} for any page. This is by making use of the {{meta_title}} helper in Ghost.

Preferrable would be to have it as {{@blog.title}} for the home page and {{title}} - {{@blog.title}} for any blog entries.

Solution

In Ghost, the default.hbs contains a template for all pages. This has the following header:

<title>{{meta_title}}</title>

Now to change that for all pages, we create a new template that is not inserted into default.hbs by default. So page.hbs is identical to default.hbs. Then we change the title tag to

<title>{{meta_title}} - {{@blog.title}}</title>

This way all posts still only have the title of the post as the title of the page, but all static pages are shown as page title - blog title.
