AdamBalm Deployed

A customized Ghost theme is now live on two instances:

• A Ghost-hosted site, used to stage updates
• A Render-self-hosted site, standing in for production

The setup is designed to test and demonstrate real-world CMS workflows—version control, automated deployment, and theme customization.

The theme is a modified fork of Ghost’s Dawn, with usability tweaks (like external links opening in new tabs) and Plausible analytics integration using dynamic domain targeting. It's version-controlled in the ghost-deploy-adambalm GitHub repository, and changes to main trigger automatic redeployments on Render.

Next Steps

• Navigation control via routes.yaml
• Publishing from markdown or JSON via the Admin API
• GitHub-triggered rebuilds
• Pinned-post support using tags
• Further theme refinements to improve usability and editorial control

The Render site will soon go live at adambalm.io.
