Click inside the upload box to select a siskin.zip, or drag and drop the siskin.zip into the upload box.

Make sure that you are logged into your publication at yourawesomeblog.com/ghost/signin
Make sure that the Siskin theme is installed and activated
Go to Settings → Design, and here you will find Home Page options

Setting up the Home page

If you want to have an exact setup like on the Siskin demo page, you need to do the following:

Please create a page named Home and assign a Home page template to it
Create tags called Podcast and Blog
Please create a page called Podcast and give a Podcast page template to it
Please create a page called Blog and give Blog page template to it
Make sure that you have exact routes.yaml like

The home page contains several sections:

Featured Section - This is where your hero area is displayed
Learn Section - This is where the box with three benefits is displayed
Podcast section - This is where featured podcast episodes are displayed
About me Section - This is where the About me area is displayed
Blog section - This is where featured blog posts are displayed
Newsletter section - This is where the newsletter form is displayed

Editing Home page

To edit the Featured area image (Hero image), go to Settings → Design → Brand and change the Publication cover.
To edit the Featured section text and titles, go to Settings → Design → Homepage" and look for the featured section set of options.
To edit featured images that are located before the main action button, you need to go to [siskin/partials/featured-in.hbs] and change the following code:

<div class="grid mt-4 w-50" data-cols="3" data-gap="3">
    <div class="grid-image-item"><img src="{{asset "img/featured-1.svg"}}" alt="Top 50" /></div>
    <div class="grid-image-item"><img src="{{asset "img/featured-2.svg"}}" alt="Top 10" /></div>
    <div class="grid-image-item"><img src="{{asset "img/featured-3.svg"}}" alt="Top 5" /></div>
</div>

You can upload your images into /img folder and replace "featured-1.hbs..." images.

Benefits section

From the Siskin theme version 1.8 you can create a page and add the title, and you can easily add benefits cards via Ghost editor content.

Create a Page named Benefits.
Tag it with the internal tag #section-benefits
Add content to it
It would be best to ensure that the field named Benefits content inside Settings / Design & branding / Homepage is, the Siskin theme has anso the content from the page is displayed.

Example of a page tagged with #section-benefits

The result - OMG, so many cards 😄

You can still use the "old way," but we think this is more elegant for our users. It is simple: if you add content to theme options, that content will be displayed, and if you add a page, the page will be displayed.

The old way of adding benefits

From the Siskin 1.4 version - you no longer need to edit this section via code. You display any content here with the proper markup.

The proper markup means the following HTML structure.

<a href="[YOUR LINK]">
[SVG ICON]
<h3>[TITLE OF THE BENEFIT]</h3>
<p>TEXT OF THE BENEFIT</p>
</a>

This means you must add this code three times to have three boxes that look like this.

Podcast section

The podcast section on the Home page lists four posts tagged with the Podcast tag and marked as Featured.

From the Siskin 1.4 version - you no longer need to edit this section via code or be specific with the Podcast tag. You can list any post here right away by using internal tags.

Go to your desired post, edit it, and add an internal tag named #post-area-1.

This means you can add any tag slug and display featured posts from this slug in this area.

However, if you want to edit the Podcast section on a Home page, you must edit the following .hbs file siskin/partials/section-podcast.hbs. For example:

{{#get "posts" filter="tag:[podcast,hash-post-area-1]+featured:true" limit="4" include="tags" order="published_at desc"}}

If you want to change the number of posts displayed on a home page, you must change the limit="4" to the desired number of posts.

Blog section

The blog section on the Home page lists 4 posts that are tagged with a Blog.

From the Siskin 1.4 version - you no longer need to edit this section via code or be specific with the Blog tag. You can list any post here right away by using internal tags.

Go to your desired post, edit it, and add an internal tag named #post-area-2.

This means you can add any tag slug and display posts from any tag in this area. In this example, we added a post tagged with the "Newsletter" tag.

However, if you want to edit the Blog section on a Home page, you must edit the following .hbs file siskin/partials/section-blog.hbs. For example:

{{#get "posts" filter="tag:[blog,hash-post-area-2]" limit="4" include="tags" order="published_at desc"}}

If you want to change the number of posts displayed on a home page, you must change the limit="4" to the desired number of posts.

About me Section

From the Siskin 1.8 version, you can now add content to this section via the Ghost editor page.

All you need to do is follow

Create a page About me
Tag it with #section-about
Add the content to it

You can also add social media buttons with links to social media. Our theme will automatically recognize them and add icons and colors to the buttons.

The output should look like this.

You can add all the most popular Social media icons like:

Instagram
Facebook
Twitter / X - if you use the URL Twitter, you will have a bird icon - if you prefer x, just use the x.com URL 😄
Snapchat
Youtube
Telegram
Tiktok
You can contact us requests if you have some other request for the icons
From the Siskin 1.3 version, you can edit this part of the home page from theme options.

Old way of adding about me section

You can paste HTML inside about text area to get the desired look.

If you want to edit the about me manually (Host) section contains several elements that can be replaced inside siskin/partials/section-about.hbs:


    <div class="grid-item p-0 bg-none">
        <img class="br-s" src="{{asset "img/host-image.png"}}" alt="John Doe">
    </div>

    <div class="grid-item p-0 bg-none flex-and-center">        
        <h3 class="h2 mb-1">John Doe</h3>
        <p class="h4 op-5">Influencer, podcaster, mentor and fitness addict.</p>
        <p>For over 12 years, I've been providing my skills in digital marketing, finance and creative writing to clients such as Southhealth, Duffer, Cetlify, Boctopus Energy, Atackbit and many more.</p>

        <p>The purpose of this podcast is to inspire listeners and adventure seekers to live intentionally, place value on experiences instead of possessions, and most of all, to encourage others to find joy exploring this beautiful world!</p>

        <p>Check out my gear and articles. If you like what you see get in touch.</p>
    </div>

To change the Host image, copy the desired image to the/assets/img folder and rename it host-image.png.

From the Siskin 1.4 version - you no longer need to edit this section via code. You display any content here with the proper markup.

The proper markup means the following HTML structure.

<span>EVERY WEDNESDAY</span><h4>DOSE OF WISDOM IN YOUR INBOX</h4>

This means that you can add any HTML to these areas.

If you want to edit the Newsletter section, you will need to edit the following .hbs file siskin/partials/section-newsletter.hbs


    <div class="mb-4 text-center inner-title">
            <span class="h5 text-accent">{{t "Every WEDNESDAY"}}</span>
            <h4>{{t "DOSE OF WISDOM IN YOUR INBOX"}}</h4>
    </div>

    <div class="siskin-newsletter-box__content inner">
        
        <div class="siskin-newsletter-box__text text-medium">
        <p>{{t "By signing up for the Siskin mailing list you will receive exclusive finance and marketing resources, be the first to hear about events, workshops, and have access to subscriber only content!"}}</p>
        </div>

Podcast setup

Adding episodes with self-hosted audio

Suppose you want to have self-hosted mp3/audio files inside each episode. You can use the Siskin theme functionality. Since Ghost doesn’t have custom fields, we have repurposed the Facebook description field for each post to store the link to the audio file.

Go to Posts > New post to create a regular post, and give it a title and some description in the editor.
Enter the self-hosted episode audio URL in the Post settings > Facebook card > description field.
Your audio file can be hosted anywhere (some third-party service, or you can use CDN), paste the provided URL into the Facebook description, and you should be all set.

Adding episodes from third-party services

Siskin has a powerful audio player where users can play self-hosted episodes while reading transcriptions. Siskin theme also supports audio & video embedded content, individual episodes or embedded playlists.

The Siskin theme allows embedding files from the following podcast networks:

Spotify
Apple podcasts
YouTube
SoundCloud
Mixcloud
Stitcher
PodBean
Blubrry LibSyn
Spreaker
Cadence
Podomatic
Deezer
Ausha
Cadence13
Transistor
Megaphone. fm
and many more...

The theme comes with the following podcast services icons:

Apple Podcasts
Overcast
Spotify

Castro

            <span class="siskin-subscribe-list__icon">{{> icons/apple }}</span>

            if (navigator.serviceWorker.controller) {
                console.log('Assets cached by the controlling service worker.');
            } else {
                console.log('Please reload this page to allow the service worker to handle network operations.');
            }
        }).catch(function(error) {
            console.log('ERROR: ' + error);
         });
    } else {

    }
</script>

This will enable the Service worker feature so users can download and install PWA on their devices.

Deploy with GitHub

From version 1.5 Siskin theme is integrated with the Deploy Ghost Theme GitHub Action for easy theme deployment.

How to modify the Siskin theme?

Like any other Ghost theme, Siskin uses a simple templating language called Handlebars for its themes. The Siskin theme is developer-friendly. If you need to make advanced customization, you will take advantage of the Gulp tasks that are set up for compiling Javascript and CSS Sass.

All the assets are minified and combined for better speed and performance. If you want to make additional customizations, ensure you have Node.js and npm installed.

Here is a tutorial How to install ghost.

To install all the dependencies needed to make customizations to the theme inside the Siskin theme folder, run the following command:

npm install

After installation is complete, you need to run:

gulp

You can always use Code Injection to do additional customizations. If you want to change the text color of the theme, you can add the following code in the Blog Header section.

:root {

    /* Colors */
    --color-darkgrey: #35373A;
}

Siskin theme uses Bootstrap for its initial layout and repeating classes. Core CSS files are located inside the assets/css folder. Siskin theme uses Vanilla JS, so no necessary JS is included (jQuery, for example).

Ghost theme API documentation - which explains every possible Handlebars helper and template.

The main files are:

default.hbs - The main template file
index.hbs - Used for the home page if you don't have routes filed added
post.hbs - Used for individual posts
page.hbs - Used for individual pages
tag.hbs - Used for tag archives
custom-home.hbs - Used for home page
custom-podcast.hbs - Used for podcast page
custom-blog.hbs - Used for blog listing page

All the other parts of the theme are located inside partials the folder. You will find files prefixed with section - this means that they are the main file of one bigger section - like a newsletter, for example.

Theme colors

To change the colors of the Siskin theme, you need to look for assets/css/siskin/assets/screen.css file.

You should find something like this:

:root {

    /* Colors */
    --color-darkgrey: #35373A;
    --color-midgrey: #cdd5d9;
    --color-lightgrey: #e1e1e1;
    --color-wash: #e5eff5;
    --color-darkmode: #151719;
    --color-dark: #151719;
    --color-white: #FFF;
    --color-softergrey: #fafafa;
    --color-text: #0a171c;
    --color-meta: rgba(21,23,25,0.6);

}

Here you can easily change the colors and then run gulp command to compile CSS files.

How to change the background color?

Here is a straightforward approach to how to change Siskin's soft background color. You can paste this code into your Settings → Code injection page. You can put it inside the head or footer section.

<style>
.bg-softaccent{
    background: rgba(220, 20, 60, 0.1);
}
</style>
