This is my attempt to lean on my experience as a developer to see what I can do with Node and NPM.

## A Small Start

I've been fascinated with the [Ghost project](http://github.com/tryghost/ghost) and have pushed my blog to their platform. I thought it would be fun to work on the project - to help and learn things at the same time but
