Ghost integration
A social media widget for a publication.
Ghost sites are written, not assembled, and a social media widget usually belongs in a specific post or at the foot of every page rather than as a homepage centrepiece. Ghost gives you a clean route to both.
In a post, or across the whole site
Ghost separates content from theme cleanly, which means the choice here is genuinely about intent rather than about what is technically possible.
An HTML card inside a post
For a wall that belongs to one piece — an event write-up, a campaign round-up, a launch announcement.
Code injection — site footer
For a floating launcher or a strip that should appear on every page, without editing the theme.
A theme template edit
For a permanent section in a specific template. Requires theme access, and survives content edits.
A dedicated page
Ghost pages are the natural home for an always-on wall that is not tied to a post.
Adding it to Ghost
- 1
In the editor, add an HTML card
Press / on a new line and choose HTML. Paste both lines of the snippet into the card.
- 2
Or use code injection for sitewide
Settings → Code injection → Site Footer takes the script tag. Put the div wherever the wall should appear.
- 3
Preview the post
Ghost's preview renders HTML cards, so you will see the wall before publishing rather than after.
- 4
Publish
Ghost has no cache to purge, so what you publish is what readers get immediately.
Ghost specifics worth knowing
Ghost is the least troublesome platform on this list, and the interesting note is not a pitfall at all.
- An HTML card in a post is tied to that post — it will not appear on the homepage excerpt, which is usually what you want
- Code injection applies to every page including your posts, so a full wall there is heavy-handed; a floating launcher suits it better
- Members-only posts still render the embed, but the wall itself is public — do not treat it as gated content
- Ghost publishes an RSS feed of your own writing by default, which you can point a Vitraz RSS source at to show your latest posts on another site entirely
Ghost questions
HTML card when the wall belongs to one post or page. Code injection when it should appear across the whole site, such as a floating launcher.
Other platforms
One snippet, then never again.
Build the feed, paste it into Ghost once, and it keeps itself current from then on.
