Hey guys.

I'm planning to start a blog soon, and while my content won't include interactive fiction until 2016 I want to make sure I pick a platform that will work with Parchment (which is awesome).

I want to use Ghost for my blog.  It uses node.js (whatever that is), and is fairly new.  Is there a way for me to get Parchment to work with that platform?  If not, I'll use Wordpress (which I hear works nicely with Parchment and has excellent features).

Thanks

Parchment works with any web system that lets you post static files. If
you can put a directory full of HTML, CSS, and Javascript files up,
Parchment will run.

I can't find docs on the ghost.org site to indicate whether this is
possible.

Thanks!  I have no idea if Ghost allows that or not (I'm rather a n00b), but I put your answer in a thread I started there.  Hopefully someone more familiar with Ghost will know given the information you provided.  

Thanks again!

You can also just load Parchment in an <iframe>.

And again my noobness shows, as I'm not sure what an <iframe> is, but it does mean I can google it.  Thanks Dannii!  *goes to study up* 

Much appreciated.  :D
