You're live! Nice. We've put together a little post to introduce you to the Ghost editor and get you started. You can manage your content by signing in to the admin area at <your blog URL>/ghost/. When you arrive, you can select this post from a list on the left and see a preview of it on the right. Click the little pencil icon at the top of the preview to edit this post and read the next section!
Getting Started
Ghost uses something called Markdown for writing. Essentially, it's a shorthand way to manage your post formatting as you write!
Writing in Markdown is really easy. In the left hand panel of Ghost, you simply write as you normally would. Where appropriate, you can use shortcuts to style your content. For example, a list:
Item number one
Item number two
A nested item
A final item
or with numbers!
Remember to buy some milk
Drink the milk
Tweet that I remembered to buy the milk, and drank it
Links
Want to link to a source? No problem. If you paste in a URL, like http://ghost.org - it'll automatically be linked up. But if you want to customise your anchor text, you can do that too! Here's a link to the Ghost website. Neat.
What about Images?
Images work too! Already know the URL of the image you want to include in your article? Simply paste it in like this to make it show up:
Not sure which image you want to use yet? That's ok too. Leave yourself a descriptive placeholder and keep writing. Come back later and drag and drop the image in to upload:
Quoting
Sometimes a link isn't enough, you want to quote someone on what they've said. It was probably very wisdomous. Is wisdomous a word? Find out in a future release when we introduce spellcheck! For now - it's definitely a word.
Wisdomous - it's definitely a word.
Working with Code
Got a streak of geek? We've got you covered there, too. You can write inline <code> blocks really easily with back ticks. Want to show off something more comprehensive? 4 spaces of indentation gets you there.
.awesome-thing {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
Ready for a Break?
Throw 3 or more dashes down on any new line and you've got yourself a fancy new divider. Aw yeah.
Advanced Usage
There's one fantastic secret about Markdown. If you want, you can write plain old HTML and it'll still work! Very flexible.
That should be enough to get you started. Have fun - and let us know what you think :)

VERTEC 1024 is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) reinforced with
glass fiber. Glass fiber improves the wear properties of PTFE,
lowers the deformation under load at both high and low
temperatures, and increases the impact resistance while leaving
the electrical and chemical characteristics of PTFE essentially
unchanged. It is suitable for piston rings, valve seats, shaft
seals, electrical insulators, bearing pads and gaskets. This
material should not be used in contact with strong alkalis and
hydrofluoric acid.

conductivity of bronze, this material dissipates heat
substantially faster than unfilled PTFE. It thus exhibits
excellent tribological properties at higher speeds in dynamic
applications. Deformation under load is also improved due to the
bronze content. Since some harsh chemicals attack Bronze, use in
corrosive environments must be carefully examined.

(polytetrafluorethylene) material. In addition to retaining the
exceptional chemical resistance, heat resistance, corrosion
resistance, and low friction properties of unfilled PTFE, it
also offers significantly improved compressive properties;
better wear properties, and low creep under load. It is ideal
for oilfield applications as it can effectively handle down-hole
chemicals, hydrocarbons, oils, mud, and slurries. Primarily, it
is used for dynamic sealing components, such as face seals,
packing, riders, and V-packing. It is a significant upgrade from
carbon filled PTFE materials normally used in these
applications.

VERTEC 3050 is a PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) based material reinforced
with carbon fiber for higher strength, stiffness and wear
properties. It exhibits superior dry running capability at very
low wear rates. Its higher elongation, excellent chemical
resistance along with high strength make this material an ideal
candidate for high-pressure sealing components used in highly
corrosive environments. Due to its extremely low wear
“rub-tolerant” characteristics, it has been used extensively as
wear components in centrifugal pumps for metal replacements. In
addition to improved reliability and increased MTBR (mean time
between repair), its tribological features allow for much
tighter clearance gaps than API or manufacturer recommended
values, thereby increasing pumping efficiency resulting in
substantial energy savings.

VERTEC 5020 is a bearing grade carbon fiber reinforced PEEK
(polyetheretherketone) material. It offers higher modulus,
mechanical strength and resistance to deformation under load
than VERTEC 5010. Due to the presence of carbon fibers, thermal
conductivity of this material is 3.5 times higher than VERTEC
5000 (unreinforced PEEK), thus it dissipates heat at a faster
rate. It also gives stable and reliable ESD performance
providing maximum protection from static charge build-up.

conditions have shown its friction coefficient and wear rate to
be much lower than any other bearing grade PEEK composite
material available in the market. It is more ductile and
flexible than our top-of-the-line Vertec 5025 and Vertec 5028
allowing more of a softer contact surface against a variety of
metallic counter-surfaces. At the PV values of 40,000 psi-fpm
and higher, its coefficient of friction approaches that of
unfilled PTFE. Also, the counter-surface wear is much less.

VERTEC 5025 is a proprietary, bearing grade PEEK
(polyetheretherketone) material, reinforced with carbon fibers
and internally lubricated with different proprietary lubricants
to improve dry running capabilities. Tribological evaluations
under dry running conditions have shown its friction coefficient
and wear rate to be much lower than other bearing grade
composite materials available in the market. Its extremely low
wear rate along with low coefficient of thermal expansion
properties make this material an ideal candidate for replacing
metal wear components.
This material is especially suited to centrifugal pump
components such as impeller/case wear rings, throat bushings,
and line shaft bearings. In addition to improved reliability and
increased MTBR (mean time between repair), these features allow
for 50% tighter clearance gaps than API recommended values,
thereby increasing pump efficiency resulting in substantial
savings.

VERTEC 6000 is unfilled (virgin) PI (polyimide). It offers
outstanding wear resistance, long-term high temperature
stability, and excellent mechanical strength and creep
resistance at elevated temperatures. PI possesses the best
electrical and thermal insulation values. PI is one of the
highest temperature resistant plastics in the market and it is
very well suited for high pressure, high velocity applications.
PI is routinely used in high temperature bushings and bearings,
starter bushings, spacers, valve seats, gaskets, insulators, and
fuel pump bearings, seals, and valves. Since imide moiety of PI
is hydrophilic, it is not suitable for steam service.

while increasing machinability and processability. Typical
applications include rotary seals, thrust washers and discs,
bushings and bearings, plungers, wear pads and strips and other
high temperature, high pressure and/or velocity (PV)
environments. PI is not suitable for steam service.

VERTEC 7010 is glass reinforced PPS (polyphenylene sulfide)
material. Its high modulus, low creep, broad chemical resistance
and good dimensional stability at elevated temperatures make it
suitable for use as structural components under static loads.
Due to the low ductility of PPS, use of this material for
applications where high impact loads are present must be
carefully examined.
