Alright, I shut down some old Wordpress sites I don't really use anymore.

This weekend, I'm trying to turn one into a Fediverse solo instance and see what happens.

I'm also quite tempted to try a Fediverse-connected Ghost Pro installation.

I took this photo while on a guided tour of the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul, which were a 1930s Prohibition era gangster hangout. The tour guide was briefly here talking about the caves behind him. They were filled with the wreckage of a flood. I can't figure out where that shadow above him is coming from. These caves are supposedly haunted due to a gangster shootout that happened there.

In a comment on a recent edition of Ghost's AP newsletter, you asked how you get lively fediverse discussions happening in the comments of your #Ghost newsletter.

One answer is, the same way you get them happening on a Mastodon account. You get people to follow @index (for now), so they see your pieces as posts in their fediverse feeds. Also add relevant hashtags to your pieces on Ghost, so they come up in tag searches on servers where there's someone following you.

So... @killyourfm convinced me to migrate my blog to #Ghost.

#TIL that the source code for adding ActivityPub support to a Ghost instance is available for experimentation by community-hosters. With the caveat that;

"This repository is being actively developed and is currently in early alpha - expect many breaking changes. It is not suitable for production use."

YES, thank you #Ghost! This is the way.

Strange lights can sometimes be spotted in the German countryside at night.

Some of them are friendly, and some of them are... not.

April is National Poetry Month in the US and – seeing as it might be the last one – I’m celebrating by sharing recently-released recordings of poems from my collection Noisesome Ghosts made by Graham Farram.

[058] “A Ghost of 50 Berkeley Square, London” (n.d.)

Graham’s reading:

Very exciting news about #Ghost, the blogging software I use for my website, beta testing their new social web integration! Activating it enables direct interaction with blogs on #Wordpress and soon #Tumblr, #Mastodon and the whole #Fediverse, as well as #BlueSky and #Threads according to their changelog:

https://ghost.org/changelog/social-web-beta/

As a self-hosting user I'll have to wait for a stable release but I am thrilled!

Voilà voilà, incident #Ghost et soudain on voit qui utilise Ghost, vu que tous leurs sites sont down

I put together this little website that allows you to build your own custom "spirit box"!

Upload any audio file(s), and the app turns it into spirit box style audio for your weird #paranormal experiments.

Now you can #ghost hunt with the theme music from Chip n' Dales Rescue Rangers or whatever the heck you want!

Congrats to @johnonolan and the team at Ghost, which today announced a public beta for users to connect their publications to the fediverse. If you're in their beta, you'll be able to find, follow and interact with people and publications on platforms including Ghost, WordPress, Threads, Mastodon, BlueSky, Flipboard and more. Get details in the blogpost here. If you want to know more about Ghost's approach to decentralization and the open social web, check out John's DotSocial conversation with @mike at the second link.

#Ghost just announced cross-platforming for fediverse and decentralized media. Again. People seeing the moment and taking it.

Seems that #Ghost has turned on their beta #Fediverse integration. That means you can follow my publication @index now directly from #Mastodon if you're so inclined. That means that my publications from now on should pop up as posts from that account.

I suppose that means I need to write something new. :-)

(It is a beta so I expect some hiccups)

The Black Monk of the Danube was a terrifying specter of doom.

كتبت سابقاً عن انبهاري بنظام إدارة المحتوى #قوست - أو #ghost -، وقاد إعجابي به إلى استخدامه في مشروع تجاري.

تبين لي أنني أسأت التقدير وأن قوست لا ينفع خارج نطاق التدوين، في حين أن الواقع التقني يلزمني استخدام تقنيات يسهل توسيعها وتعديلها.

ما زلت أرى في قوست النظام الذي يقترب من الكمال - ولله الكمال وحده - لكن لن أستخدمه في مشاريع تجارية أخرى.

The McPherson Playhouse theatre in Victoria, BC has supposedly received visits from the "Grey Lady" over the last 75 years. This female ghost wears a long, blue-grey dress and wanders the theatre's balcony; sometimes she floats above the actors. No one knows her true identity.
