extensive hero text with reveal animation on scroll
There are two ways to add extended hero text:
Method 1: Using the Theme Settings (Default/ simple)
This is the default option of Kyoto theme, recommended for short and simple intro text.
- Log in to your Ghost Admin dashboard.
- Go to Settings → Site → Design & branding → Cuztomize
- Go to Theme tab and find the Homepage section.
- Locate the Hero text field. It is used as the heading
- Enter your desired text (this works best for shorter messages).
- Click Save to apply the changes.
- To edit text content, go to Settings → General settings → Title & description → Site description
- Save and refresh the homepage
Method 2: Using a Custom Page (Recommended for Longer Text)
For more extensive hero text with formatting options and animation.
- Log in to your Ghost Admin dashboard.
- Click on Pages in the left sidebar.
- Click New page to create a new page.
- Add your hero text content in the editor. You can:
- Format text with bold, italic, or other styles
- Add multiple paragraphs
- Include links or other content elements
- Add the tag
#home-intro
to the page (important!)- Click the settings icon (⚙️) in the top right
- Go to the "Tags" section
- Type and select
#home-intro
- To add reveal animation, add an additional tag
#intro-animate
to the Tags section - Publish the page when you're done.

The theme will automatically display this content in the hero section instead of the simple hero text from Theme Settings.
Pro Tips:
- Use bold text to highlight important words (appears with yellow background)
- Keep your hero text concise and impactful
- If using Method 2, you can update your hero any time by editing the page
That's it! Your Ghost website now features a more flexible and extensive hero text section.
