Blog Websites

A complete blog typically needs:

• Home/Blog Index: List of recent posts
• Post Page: Individual article view
• Category Pages: Posts filtered by topic
• About: Author info
• Archive: All posts

"Create a blog with:

• Home: Featured post hero + recent posts grid
• Post page: Title, date, author, content, related posts
• Categories: Tech, Design, Business
• Sidebar: Search, categories, newsletter signup

Style: Clean, readable, dark mode option"

"Create a blog database with:

Posts table:

• title, slug, content (rich text)
• excerpt, featured_image
• author (relation), category (relation)
• published_date, is_featured, is_published

Categories table:

• name, slug, description

Authors table:

• name, bio, avatar, twitter"

Various ways to display posts:

"Show posts in a 3-column grid with thumbnails"

"Use a list layout with excerpts for the main blog"

"Add infinite scroll or pagination"

Highlight important content:

"Show the most recent featured post as a large hero"

"Add a 'Featured' badge to select posts"

Organize content:

"Add category links in the sidebar"

"Show category badges on post cards"

"Create /category/[slug] pages"

For multi-author blogs:

"Create author profile pages at /author/[name]"

"Show all posts by that author"

Each post should have:

"Add meta description field to posts table"

"Use post title as page title"

"Add structured data for articles"

Help search engines find posts:

"Add all published posts to the sitemap"

"Create a minimalist personal blog with:

• Simple one-column layout
• Focus on typography and readability
• No sidebar, just content
• Subtle author info at bottom"

"Create a company blog with:

• Multiple categories (Product, Engineering, Culture)
• Author bylines with photos
• Related posts suggestions
• Newsletter CTA in footer"
