I set up this blog using a content management system called Ghost 6, which is completely new to me, but reportedly lighter and quicker than most of its competitors.

I'm not interested in anything fancy, I just wanted it to look like a blog would've looked in about 2003: Newest posts on top, scroll down to see the older ones. I was surprised to learn, however, that Ghost doesn't have that option - at least not for free. All the themes you can choose show little excerpt cards on the front page; you have to click through to read the actual posts.

I went a-googlin' to see if anyone else had found a solution to this problem, and there were indeed several threads about it, none of which seemed to have an answer, so I had to do some minor hacking.

Seekers of the future, here's your solution. Install the default "Casper" theme, and apply this patch to it:

diff --git a/partials/post-card.hbs b/partials/post-card.hbs
