In terms of plugin support, how is Ghost?

It depends on you want to do exactly.
Ghost supports Google Ads, Facebook and Twitter widgets, newsletters, Google Analytics, themes, Disqus comments, code injection for Google fonts, customisable menus and several other features.

However, there's no plugins and features must be enabled via theme editing or code injection. Ghost has plans for apps to be added via it's control panel to act almost like plugins. One example is the upcoming Slack integration feature.

If you are interested in messing around with Ghost, I can create a blank installation of Ghost on my website for you test.

Thanks for the offer but I was just finding out, I'll look into Ghost when I take more blogging a bit more seriously.
 
I don't really see the point of an App like this if you can host on GitHub.io (with cname redirect) for free with built in Jekyll support.

It didn't detect you missed the fullstop at the end of the first paragraph. It also only seems to only support US English e.g. thinks "rumours" is a spelling mistake, that is unless your use US regional settings for your PC.

Agree. Ghost is a minimalist blog framework so one might as well use a static site generator instead.
