Bookmarks
When using a URL with the right meta information, it can show the page title, excerpt, author, publisher and even a preview image. This is a great way to share links from sites that don't have automatic embeds.
Products
Display products beautifully with custom content including an image, description, button or rating, so you can add your favorite recommendations to any post.
Daigo
Daigo is a highly visual, creative Ghost theme for all types of contemporary magazines. Personal or professional, fashion or design publication — Daigo will easily fit it all.
Images
Once you start mixing text and image cards creatively, the whole narrative of the story changes. Suddenly, you're working in a new format. Once inserted you can blend images beautifully into your content at different sizes (normal, full, and wide) and add captions wherever needed.
Gallery
Ghost supports image galleries for up to 9 images at a time, all of which are responsively optimised and organised to look their best no matter how many images you add or remove.
Headers
Make a statement with bold section headers in your posts and pages. Insert a header card to add a full width divider that can include a title, subheading, accent color or image background, and a button.
Build your audience
Create your own platform on the web. Ghost is a powerful app for new-media creators to publish, share, and grow a business around their content. It comes with modern tools to build a website, publish content, send newsletters & offer paid subscriptions to members.

Buttons
Add call to action buttons to your posts using button cards. Buttons can be center or left aligned, include custom button text, and link to any URL.
Toggles
