Why share all of your ideas with just Reddit and Twitter? Your best writing needs a home - on your very own blog!
This week, let’s get a Gatsby blog up-and-running from scratch. You’ll get practice setting up your local environment, creating new pages from React components, sourcing content from Markdown files, and deploying your site to a host!
If you are new to Node.js or React development, a Gatsby blog is a terrific project to start with.
Bonus: use your new blog to track your #100DaysOfGatsby progress! Research shows that writing about what you learn, or even what you’re struggling with helps you to retain that information, or even discover a solution. So, during your #100DaysOfGatsby journey, we encourage you to use this blog to write about your ups and downs, victories and challenges.
If you are already familiar with Gatsby’s APIs and conventions, and want a more advanced challenge, you can create a Gatsby theme for your blog.
