Wordpress is incredibly bloated. If you've ever tried to make a semi-large blog with it you'll know exactly what I mean. This is literally just a setup and run blog.

Wordpress used to be that but it's turned into a huge CMS that's trying to do 2000 things at once. Jack of all trades and master of none if you will.

Wordpress isn't? Unless things have changed you install it and start adding blog posts.

Not really no. I mean you can but Wordpress's admin page feels like you are fighting just to post something. Wordpress is no longer really targeted at people that want to get a blog up and running and just that.

That's what ghost is. It's a blogging system without all the added bloat and horrible API's to go with it.

???

  1) Log into admin area (usually /wp-admin)
  2) Click "Posts" on left sidebar (first icon on the top)
  3) Write
  4) Submit
Is the current iteration of wordpress different from this workflow? Is Ghost different?

Hell, if you're logged in, you'll see a bar at the top of the screen with "+ New" on every single page of your site.

Yes I have. No I don't.

What do you mean by "setup and run"? The work setup is extremely elastic. WP is setup and run. So is a particle accelerator, as is a fridge.
