Building the tech blog seems a bit difficut for bigenners, also when we want to make our tech blog minimalistic and more fast to make it more content-oriented majority get's confused with what technology should be used.\nSo you might have heard about Gatsby which is a static site generator written in Javascript and backend by React and GraphQL.\nI’m also a newbie to Gatsby, and I thought I’d write up this blog as a guide on, how to setup/build your blog and write your first blog post, as I figure things out.
\nYou might be thinking that why Gatsby, why not other technology.
\nAccording to there website
\n\n\n\"Gatsby is a free and open-source framework based on React that helps developers build blazing-fast websites and apps\" and is \"Fast in every way that matters\".

Gatsby allows you to write in Markdown, which is a simple plain text format that is easy to learn and write with. It generates HTML blog posts taking in the Markdown files.\nIt has some great features that differentiate it from other static site generators.:
\nIf you don't have Gatsby CLI Installed yet, then install it's latest version first, it will give you the gatsby command:
npm install -g gatsby-cli
\nThen, create your new blog:
gatsby new my-blog https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-blog
\nAfter a few seconds, you will see something like this in your terminal.\n
\nNow, Change the directory to the site folder:
cd my-new-blog
\nStartup the Gatsby Development Server using gatsby command:
gatsby develop
\nAfter a few seconds, you will see something like this in your terminal.\n
