Welcome to my new blog about learning Astro! Here, I will share my learning journey as I build a new website.

What I’ve accomplished

  1. Installing Astro: First, I created a new Astro project and set up my online accounts.

    • I used npm create astro@latest command to start a new Astro project.
    • Then, ran npm run dev to start the Astro dev server to preview the website in browser.

  2. Making Pages: I then learned how to make pages by creating a new .astro files and placing them in the src/pages/ folder.

  3. Making Blog Posts: This is my first blog post! I now have Astro pages and Markdown posts!

What’s next

I will finish the Astro tutorial, and then keep adding more posts. Watch this space for more to come.
