Readium 2.0.0

The Medium-like theme for Ghost. Reduced to the core design of Medium (without the cluttered stuff, like the sidebar) to bring you a similar user experience while giving you the freedom to host it on your own servers and on your own terms.

Check out Mark Reads Blog as an good example.

Just drop this theme in your Ghost theme folder and choose it in your Ghost admin dashboard (after restarting Ghost).

For big article images in your posts give it the tag "articleImage". If this tag gets added to an article, you should add an additional big image to the beginning. The JS goes out and takes the first image inside this article and uses it as article image.

If you give your images an alt text, it gets added automatically as figcaption beneath the image (sorry, no links or other HTML stuff). Awesomeness!

If your Ghost blog is self hosted:

1. Copy the contents of the .zip file into /content/themes/.
2. You need to restart your Ghost instance. After that you can switch themes inside your Ghost admin (http://your.domain.com/ghost/settings/general/). Scroll down and choose "Readium" from the theme dropdown.
3. Now you can customize your logo, langing page image (if you choose to have one), as well as user images and texts to fit the theme.
4. Have fun.

If your Ghost blog is hosted on the Ghost hosting platform:

1. Upload your Zip file via the Ghost admin panel.
2. Switch your theme to the Readium theme.
3. Have fun.
