So I originally set up this blog way, way back in 2013. I’d been using Octopress and a Github hosted page. But it made it look like every other Jekyll blog out there. I had attended TwilioCon 2013, and Hannah Wolfe gave a presentation on Ghost. It sounded pretty cool, and DigitalOcean had just created a Ghost image to play around with.
So I booted one up and it worked pretty well! The problem was, since it was an image, it was pretty annoying to maintain. I was stuck with Ghost 0.3 for a while. I remember looking into how hard it would be to automate with Puppet, but the only Ghost module on the forge at the time wasn’t working for me. So I put it in my to-do pile to automate with Puppet, and left it.
