WordPress vs Ghost – Which platform is best for Blogging?

You may find some worries when planning to choose a blogging platform. Because a lot of blogging platforms are available today. Neither of them is perfect but each can serve a definite purpose depending upon the nature of the goal that your blog has. However, the most popular are WordPress and Ghost. Let’s discuss WordPress vs Ghost. 

WordPress vs Ghost

Registration

You do not need to register anywhere for downloading or installing WordPress. But Ghost demands registration. This further leads to receiving undesired emails. Also, people get slightly frustrated when they are forced to enter their username, email, password, etc

Dashboard

WordPress dashboard comes with multiple options. It comes with easy navigation to create a post, edit the post and also to publish them. But the interface seems to be slightly difficult for freshers.

Ghost’s dashboard is very simple. The first thing appears when you log in is the most recent post. The menu includes mainly 3 options: settings, new posts, and content. Ghost dashboard is easier and clearer than WordPress but more options and flexibility are available with WordPress.

Sharing

Both are a very good platform to push your content to your blog. In WordPress, you can automate social sharing by installing Jetpack or any other similar plugin.  Depending upon the theme you are choosing for your website you have to install the plugins. But on the other hand, Ghost has inbuilt social sharing buttons.

Flexibility

Ghost comes with a lot of themes in its official and 3rd party marketplace. But the number of themes are less when compared to WordPress. Tens of thousands of plugins are also available WordPress whereas Ghost apps are still under processing.
