I made new profile page

I made my new profile page with Blog in one day, here is how you can make it as well.

Starter template

Of course, I am developer, so I am lazy as f**k 😅. So after little searching, I found pretty interesting starter template based on Tailwind and NextJS, and easily customizable. So if you are interested in easy profile page with Blog just check out this repo: https://github.com/timlrx/tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog

Customations

The whole page itself is pretty simple, on homepage you have preview of first 5 blog articles and in main menu you have another 4 routes. The first route is list of all your blogs, next one is list of tags used in the blog articles -> I dont know what is that useful for... Next one is about your projects, you can configure that in data/projectsData.js - it is simple JSON/Object (easy to understand). Last rout is about page -> it displays informations about the author of the page, you can set it in data/authors/default.mdx (you can add more authors, but for our usage we won't need it). Back to the blog articles, you can edit, add or remove the articles in data/blog/* all .mdx files in this folder will be rendered in the blog list and will have it separate url route. About the formatting of the blog articles -> it is simple .md format like you have in README.md, in this starter template you have multiple articles with examples of formatting (I think this examples are better than me explaining it in multiple pages of borring text 😁). Lastly you can modify .tsx itself -> all main pages are in /pages folder and probably you will need /layouts folder as well.

Deployment

After you have your page customized, have at least one blog article (for starters 😁), you can deploy your page -> for deployment you can use Vercel, but first wee need to push our code in some git repository, I chose the Github but for Vercel you can use GitLab or Bitbucket. After you created the github repository and pushed the code, you can easily create new account on Vercel.com and for first project choose Github (or different VCS you are using), pick your repo and run deploy. After few moments, you can see the Next.js app is built and deployed, now you should have visible automatically generated vercel page with your app. I you want in Setting of the Vercel project you can set custom domain.

This was quick walk through, how I created this profile page, and I hope it will help you with yours -> If you want you can check my GitHub with this page (for some inspiration 😎).
