Ahab - Responsive Ghost Theme



Ahab is a theme obsessed with details: beautifully responsive, built on a baseline grid, with numerous styles for adding rich content throughout your writing.

The Big Picture

Easily add featured images to your posts and pages, and display them beautifully on both the homepage and individual post pages. For best results, create your featured images at least 1800 pixels wide by 1012 pixels tall (in a 16x9 ratio).

Post Styles

Built on a sturdy baseline grid, your writing practically sings with the vertical rhythm. Ahab provides more in-post content styles than nearly any other theme, including:

- Blockquotes, pullquotes, and floating pullquotes
- Sidebar items using aside
- Easy to read data tables
- Various image and media styles
- Code with built-in syntax highlight using Prettify.js

Social Butterfly

Every post and page has buttons at the bottom to make sharing to the most popular social networks simple and effortless. Social metadata in the header of every single page ensures that the correct information shows up when sharing any link, including archives and tag pages.

Built for Easy Customization

While the base theme is lovely, I completely understand the desire to make it your own. All of the major colors and font settings come preset within a separate custom.css file so you can easily update the theme later without overwriting your modifications.
