Question 1

How do I add a new blog post to Next.js Blog Boilerplate?

Accepted Answer

Create a Markdown file in the '_posts' directory with frontmatter, and the boilerplate automatically renders it as a page with proper styling and SEO, based on the project structure shown in the README.

Question 2

Can I use Next.js Blog Boilerplate with a headless CMS like Contentful?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires custom integration since the boilerplate is designed for static Markdown; you'll need to modify data fetching logic to pull content from the CMS, which isn't documented in the setup.

Question 3

Next.js Blog Boilerplate vs Gatsby for blogging: which is better?

Accepted Answer

This boilerplate is better for developers using Next.js for SSR and React, with built-in performance optimizations, while Gatsby has a richer plugin ecosystem for blogs but is more focused on static generation.

Question 4

How to customize the theme in Next.js Blog Boilerplate?

Accepted Answer

Edit 'src/templates/Main.tsx' for layout changes and 'src/styles/main.css' for Tailwind CSS customizations, as specified in the customization section of the README.

Question 5

Does this boilerplate support dark mode?

Accepted Answer

No, the included minimalist theme does not have dark mode support out of the box; you would need to implement it manually using Tailwind CSS or additional code.

Question 6

How to deploy Next.js Blog Boilerplate to Vercel?

Accepted Answer

Since it's a Next.js project, you can deploy to Vercel by connecting your GitHub repository; the build configuration is already optimized, and the README mentions Netlify deployment but Vercel works similarly.
