I've just upgraded my blog; http://james.brooks.so - it was surprisingly easy for a Node.js app.

I'm really liking the static pages, it's just a shame that the default Casper theme doesn't list these in the header.

Is that hosted on Ghost or your server?

It's on my server, DigitalOcean droplet with a Ghost install by default.

And the DB? How is the load handling?

It's an SQLite 3 database, but Ghost allows you to export it to JSON for backing up.

I've not had a big load in the few days I've changed from Octopress to Ghost, so I don't know how well it handles it.

Ghost is one of these things that you didn't know you needed until you have used it. I also have an Octopress blog running, which is great, but with the addition of static pages, I'll be switching to Ghost.

I can also see Ghost becoming a decent competitor for Wordpress. For the purpose of blogging that is, because I remember reading somewhere Ghost didn't have any intentions competing with Wordpress.

I used to use Octopress too, but when I tried out Ghost on a DO droplet I had to switch.

I had started running into problems with generating my Octopress blog when I messed up my Ruby install. Also, although it was a good thing at the time, I didn't like not being able to write posts without my MacBook to hand.

Ghost is nice, fast and easy to use. Static pages are really going to make it even better.

I've been trying to use Ghost for a small project, but I've postponed it until the {{#has}} helper[1] is implemented. There is currently no simple way to display a subset of posts.

Very proud of this release and so glad that I was able to lend a hand in getting it out the door. Can't wait for 0.5 :D (and can't wait to find out its code name).
