Building a Blog

I wanted to learn full-stack development better. Now I'm at a much better state. I learned about

  • Tailwind
  • Project structure and configurations
  • Server and Client side files
  • Vercel Hosting
  • Google Cloud Console

The first few things involved in this project anyone might have guessed; however, it's only through projects like these, that you discover the intricacies of building. When you create a website, link a domain, and set up your DNS records that's it? Nope. When you try to find your website through google, it won't show up in search results. Using Google Search Console you can manage almost everything related to your site (analytics side). In order for google's search algorithm to know where to reccomend your site, you need to either map out your site (with a sitemap) or have Googlebot crawl your site. They will create a worse sitmap for your site(make a sitemap) and determine how to index your pages. If all goes well and your site is able to be indexed by the Googlebot, your pages get added to Google's page index, which is basically a giant database of all known websites.
