Update the theme
Today I installed a theme for my Ghost blog. It is called Braun Adapt, though it neither adapts nor resembles Braun, except perhaps in its disdain for being understood.
The instructions were simple, which is how I knew they were lying.
- I uploaded a zip file. Ghost accepted it, like a sphinx tolerating a traveler.
- I activated it. The page went blank for a moment—possibly out of respect.
- Then came the routes.yaml. I uploaded it under “Labs,” which felt appropriately experimental. Still, no explosion.
- I imported internal-tags.json, which sounds like something Kafka would have written if he'd been into metadata.
- Lastly, the demo-content.json—a move of desperation, not desire. I hoped to see structure, but instead found placeholder posts about design theory and coffee.
Everything appeared to work. And yet, nothing quite looked right. Like rearranging furniture in a room that is still haunted.
Tomorrow, I try to configure the homepage. Or maybe I just publish this diary and pretend it was intentional.
