Creating a feature-rich blog is a great way to improve your web development skills.
We just posted a course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel that will teach you how
to create a blog that is not just visually appealing but also SEO-optimized for higher Google
rankings. Codebucks created the course.
The course leverages the power of several modern tools and frameworks to build the blog.
This includes Next.js for the core application, Tailwind CSS for styling, Contentlayer to render
Markdown blogs seamlessly, Supabase for counting and displaying blog page views, Lottie
Animation for interactive animations, React hook form for form functionalities, Next Sitemap
for creating a sitemap, and Google's structured json-ld schema for enhancing SEO.
