A new Ghost Admin API
Ghost has always had a REST API at its very core, but for the first few years while we were fleshing out basic features there wasn't a whole lot you could do with it. Now, all your favourite apps work with Ghost!At the beginning of this year we announced
Language support in code cards
Add syntax highlighting to blocks of code on your site using code cards in the Ghost editor, which now support language selection and captions!
Install privacy focussed analytics on your site
It's possible to integrate your Ghost publication with modern analytics tools that are privacy-focused, GDPR compliant and don't track your site visitors. Find out how with the latest additions to our integrations library: Simple Analytics and Fathom.
We're excited to add these solutions alongside other popular analytics tools, like Google Analytics and Segment. Keeping on top of your site metrics is a breeze using sensible code injection in Ghost.
Improved in-app notifications
We've just rolled out some new improvements to how we inform you about exciting new features, upgrades and other important information inside Ghost.
Now you'll see more personalised information in the admin area and each staff user can dismiss notifications at their own leisure. Keep an eye out for these notifications to find out about the latest features in Ghost!
Add comments to your posts in a few simple steps
We recently published some new integration guides including two new tools for implementing comments to your posts.
Guides on how to add comments to your site using Commento and Talkyard have been published, alongside existing integrations for Disqus and Discourse. Getting setup with comments takes just a few steps, using a snippet of code in your post.hbs theme files. This provides even more options to integrate a commenting system that suits your needs.
Discover new ways to connect your Ghost publication with your favourite apps and tools using our integrations library.
