Ghost blog

Ghost blog may refer to any of the following:

1. Like ghostwriting, ghost blogging is a practice where a writer produces content, like weblogs, for an individual or organization, but does not receive direct credit. Ghost bloggers help establish a uniform, high-quality voice that resonates with an audience without needing the skills, time, or resources to do it alone. For example, ghost blogs are commonly used by politicians or businesses that don't involve much writing.

While it may seem unethical, those who participate in ghost blogging know in advance that they're being paid in exchange for the rights to the content they create. In fact, ghost blogs are quite common.

2. The term "Ghost blog" may also refer to a blog powered by the Ghost publishing platform. Released on October 14, 2013, Ghost is a non-profit organization and open-source CMS (content management system) written in JavaScript designed to create and manage blogs. It was developed as an alternative to other popular platforms like WordPress, focusing on streamlining the writing experience through simplicity. Using Ghost, writers can turn their audience into a business by offering tools that make publishing content easy, send newsletters, and offer paid subscriptions.
