## Quick Start πŸš€

1. **Create a Gatsby site.**

Use the Gatsby CLI to create a new site, specifying the default starter.

```sh
# create a new Gatsby site using the-plain-gatsby starter
gatsby new my-blog https://github.com/wangonya/the-plain-gatsby
```

2. **Start developing.**

Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up.

```sh
cd my-blog/
gatsby develop
```

3. **Open the source code and start editing!**

Your site is now running at `http://localhost:8000`!

_Note: You'll also see a second link: _`http://localhost:8000/___graphql`_. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the [Gatsby tutorial](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-five/#introducing-graphiql)._

Open the `my-blog` directory in your code editor of choice and edit `src/pages/about.md`. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!

Edit `gatsby.config.js` to update site metadata.

Add blog posts in markdown in `src/pages/blog/`. Each blog should have a `title` and `date` frontmatter. Example blog posts have been provided.
