Next UIBlogTemplate

The Next UIBlogTemplate is a powerful foundation for crafting your very own blog website using Next.js, coupled with sleek UI components from Next UI. This template not only jumpstarts your project but also ensures a responsive and customizable blog experience. Key features include dynamic routing, code splitting, and server-side rendering.

Note

• An application is set up to render blog pages using markdown files. Each markdown file corresponds to a blog post, and its filename determines the URL at which the post will be accessible.
• For instance, if there's a markdown file named my-first-blog-post.md, the application will render that blog post at https://next-uiblogtemplate.vercel.app/blog/my-first-blog-post.
• To simplify the process of renaming markdown files to adhere to this format, you can utilize the Markdown File Renamer Web App.
• This tool automates the renaming process, ensuring that your markdown files are correctly formatted for the application to render them as blog posts.
