Building a Personal Blog from Scratch with Astro: A Detailed Step-by-Step Guide

Blogging

Background

I've been using Astro for a while now, and it works quite well. But when I wanted to modify some of the features, it got rather troublesome. So this time I built from scratch, and I'm writing down the process.

The Process

  1. For this from-scratch build, I followed the official tutorial docs.
    Build your first Astro blog
    I used the minimal template, not the blog template. The command:
    </br>

    pnpm create astro@latest --template minimal
    
    </br>

    Choose to install the dependencies and initialize the Git repository.
