Choose your language: English | 简体中文

A modern, fully configurable blog template built with Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and MDX. Configure once, write content, and deploy anywhere.

• Single config file: src/config/site.config.ts
• i18n-ready: Configurable default language, Chinese (/) and English (/en) by default
• MDX content: content/blog/<locale>/*.mdx
• Static export by default: production builds generate out/ for static hosting
• Built-ins: RSS/Atom/JSON feeds, dark mode, animated UI, reading time

1. Use this repo as a template (recommended) or clone it
2. Install dependencies

pnpm install

3. Start dev server

pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000

Edit src/config/site.config.ts:

• Basics: name, title, description
• URL: Derived from env NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL + BASE_PATH
• Author: author.name, author.email, author.bio
• Social: social.github, social.twitter, social.email
• SEO: seo.keywords, seo.ogImage, seo.twitterCard
• Nav: nav.main
• Pages: pages.home, pages.about

i18n settings are in src/config/site.config.ts:

• locales: ['zh', 'en'] (configurable order)
• defaultLocale: 'zh' (configurable: 'zh' or 'en')
• URL style: Default language has no prefix, secondary language uses prefix
• Auto-deployment: GitHub Actions automatically uses your configured default language

Place MDX files under the locale folders:

content/blog/en/hello-world.mdx
content/blog/zh/hello-world.mdx

Frontmatter example:

---
title: "Your Amazing Post"
description: "Short summary for SEO"
date: "2024-01-15"
published: true
featured: false
tags: ["nextjs", "react"]
---

# Your Amazing Post

Fields: title (required), description (required), date (YYYY-MM-DD), published (default: true), featured (default: false), tags.

Create .env.local in project root:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://yourdomain.com
BASE_PATH=

• For GitHub Pages (repo Weblog):

NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://<user>.github.io/Weblog
BASE_PATH=/Weblog

• For GitHub Pages (user site):

NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://<user>.github.io
BASE_PATH=

Notes:

• Include a leading slash in BASE_PATH (e.g. /Weblog), no trailing slash.
• Update DNS or custom domain to match NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL when applicable.

pnpm dev          # Start development server
pnpm build        # Production build (static export → ./out)
pnpm lint         # ESLint
pnpm format       # Prettier format

Feeds are generated from English posts and exposed at:

• /rss.xml
• /rss.json
• /atom.xml

Set author and seo.ogImage in site.config.ts for correct feed metadata.

This template defaults to static export in production. After pnpm build, deploy the out/ directory.

• Vercel: Import repo → Build command pnpm build → Output out/ (auto-detects)
• Netlify: Build command pnpm build → Publish directory out/
• GitHub Pages: Included workflow automatically handles deployment

The included .github/workflows/deploy.yml automatically:

1. Reads your defaultLocale from site.config.ts
2. Places the default language content at the root (/)
3. Handles BASE_PATH configuration for subpath deployments

No manual configuration needed - just push to main branch!

Troubleshooting:

• Broken links → verify BASE_PATH in environment variables
• Wrong default language → check defaultLocale in site.config.ts
• 404 errors → ensure content exists for both languages
