Adding a box to a Ghost post
Each row in the Sponsorship Boxes list has two action buttons:Create New Post
Click Create New Post to have Outpost create a Ghost draft for you. The draft contains the rendered sponsorship box HTML wrapped in Ghost’s HTML card markup. Open the draft in Ghost to add a title and surrounding copy, then publish.Copy/Paste
Click Copy/Paste to copy the rendered box HTML to your clipboard. In Ghost, add an HTML card to any post and paste the HTML in.Both actions snapshot the HTML at the moment you click. Editing the box later in Outpost does not update existing Ghost posts — re-create the post or re-copy and replace the HTML card to pick up changes.
