I've just installed this Ghost blog software for my personal website. Was curious about a nodejs cms. So far so good, and pretty easy to set up!
Stay tuned for some content.
In the meantime, please feel free to email me at henrik@bechmann.ca
Here are my notes on setting up the site:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-an-ubuntu-14-04-server Using a PPA
open the access port: sudo ufw allow 2368
don’t delete /etc/nginx/sites-available/default (I have lots of other things going on in this server)
new user ghost, pw:(private!)
to run ghost:
su - ghost
cd /var/www/ghost
forever start index.js
to stop ghost:
forever stop index.js (from the ghost dir as the ghost user)
to autorestart on reboot:
sudo crontab -u ghost -e
add this:
@reboot /usr/bin/forever start /var/www/ghost/index.js
Ghost is in developer mode by default -- see instructions ("how to install..." above) to switch to production mode (I haven't bothered, not in the short run)

ghost recommends setting up an email service instead of using direct email: http://support.ghost.org/mail, but I'm not going to do this -- not worth it; not enough traffic. Email forwarding is handled separately on my Digital Ocean droplet
