Introduction to Next.js Blog

Next.js is a popular React framework for building server-side rendered and statically generated websites and applications. In this tutorial, we will create a simple blog using Next.js.

Step 1: Create a New Next.js Project

To start, create a new Next.js project using the following command:

npx create-next-app my-blog
cd my-blog

Step 2: Create New Pages

Create two new pages, index.js and about.js, in the pages directory:

// pages/index.js
import Link from 'next/link';

function HomePage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome to my blog</h1>
      <p>
        <Link href="/about">
          <a>About</a>
        </Link>
      </p>
    </div>
  );
}

export default HomePage;

// pages/about.js
function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>About me</h1>
      <p>This is the about page.</p>
    </div>
  );
}

export default AboutPage;

Step 3: Run the Application

Run the application using the following command:

npm run dev

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the blog in action.
