As a developer, having a personal blog is definitely something I wanted to make since not only would it allow me to improve my writing skills, but it would also reinforce the topics I learned by talking about it!
At the same time, I also wanted to try incorporating something new to my project as this is the perfect opportunity to branch out and try something new — a CMS!
At the time of this project, I wasn't that well-versed when it comes to using CMS'es and although I have heard of multiple ones such as Shopify, Wordpress, and Drupal, I wanted to practice my front-end skills utilizing one as the back-end (headless CMS).
Creating this project allowed me to learn more about what's it like to use a CMS, connecting one to my front-end, and managing my content (blog posts).
In addition, this project allowed me to practice creating websites utilizing the Astro framework and the power behind it, such as built-in pagination and dynamic routes.
The entire experience from design to development gave me a fresh sense of joy - one that came from finishing a project that had both frontend and backend!
