Your site
Your emails can go up as posts on your own site. Bring your Ghost theme if you have one.
What it is
I've moved my blog more times than I'd like to admit, and every move broke links I'd shared years earlier.
With Kōlea, your emails go up as posts on your own site at an address you choose, and they stay there. It uses Ghost's theme format, so if you already have a Ghost theme you like, a lot of the time you can just bring it.
01 Your site
Write once, post it too
Any broadcast can go up on your site when it sends, or later. Topics become part of the address, and if you ever change a post's address, the old one keeps working and forwards to the new one.
-
Your own domain, posts, links in your emails, and the preferences page all move with it.
-
Topics, search, an about page, and a subscribe page, the bits every newsletter site needs, without plugins.
-
Members-only and paid posts, readers who aren't signed in or paying see the title and a teaser, and so do feeds.
Bring your Ghost theme
Three themes come built in. You can also upload a Ghost theme as a zip and preview it with your own posts before you switch.
-
Every template is checked on upload, and a new theme stays off until you choose "Use this theme", so a broken upload never breaks your site.
-
Preview any theme with your content, so you see your posts in it, not lorem ipsum.
-
Themes run in a sandbox, so a theme can't reach anything it shouldn't.
The short version
- Any broadcast can go up as a post on your site, at a link you choose.
- Kōlea uses Ghost's theme format, so a lot of Ghost themes work without changes.
- Your own domain, with topics, search, an about page, and a subscribe page.
