My First Blog Post

Welcome to my *new blog* about learning Astro! Here, I will share my learning journey as I build a new website.

What I've accomplished

1. Installing Astro: First, I created a new Astro project and set up my online accounts.
2. Making Pages: I then learned how to make pages by creating new .astro files and placing them in the src/pages/ folder.
3. Making Blog Posts: This is my first blog post! I now have Astro pages and Markdown posts!

What's next

I will finish the Astro tutorial, and then keep adding more posts. Watch this space for more to come.

Diving Deeper into Astro

Components and Layouts

Astro provides a powerful component system that allows for reusable UI elements. Here's what I've learned:

1. Creating Components
   • Components are created in .astro files
   • They can accept props for dynamic content
   • Example:

`astro

---

const {title} = Astro.props;

---

<h1>{title}</h1>

`

1. Using Layouts
   • Layouts help maintain consistency across pages
   • They can be applied to both .astro and .md files

Styling in Astro

Astro offers multiple ways to style your website:

• Inline styles
• Scoped styles
• Global styles
• CSS Modules

Example of Scoped Styles

<style>
  h1 {
    color: purple;
    font-size: 4rem;
  }
</style>

<h1>Styled Heading</h1>
