# Cassidy's blog template

[![Netlify Status](https://api.netlify.com/api/v1/badges/eab04209-5f7f-41ed-a8dd-c45a9ebb1834/deploy-status)](https://app.netlify.com/sites/blahg/deploys)

Hello, welcome. This is a blog ("blahg" is the proper spelling for Chicagoans) template. It's built with [Astro](https://astro.build), and uses [TinaCMS](https://tina.io) to edit the content!

## See the blahg

[blahg.netlify.app](https://blahg.netlify.app/)

## To use the template

- Connect to your chosen hosting provider (see Deploy to Netlify button below if you want to go that route, otherwise use the GitHub template button above and pick a different one)
- Make an account at [tina.io](https://tina.io/)
- Add your TinaCMS keys (see below)
- Update `astro.config.mjs` with your domain
- Edit `src/config.js`
- Add your URL in line 1 of `public/robots.txt`
- Add your links in `src/components/Header.astro`
- Update the intro in `pages/about.md`
- Edit the images in `public/` (optional)
- Edit whatever tags you want in `tina/config.js` (optional)

After this, you can add your content to `src/posts` with Markdown files, or with TinaCMS by going to `yoururl.com/admin`!

## Run it yourself

All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:

| Command | Action |
| :------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `npm install` | Installs dependencies |
| `npm run dev` | Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321` |
| `npx tinacms dev -c 'astro dev'` | Manually run local server if the regular command doesn't work |
| `npm run build` | Build your production site to `./dist/` |
| `npm run preview` | Preview your build locally, before deploying |

You go to `localhost:4321/admin/index.html` to see the CMS and use it. If you want to clone this for yourself, you'll need a `.env.development` file that has the following in it:

```
TINACLIENTID=
TINATOKEN=
TINASEARCH=
```
