Summary

The tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on creating a static blog website using Strapi as the backend and Jekyll for the frontend, with React serving as the front-end framework. It begins with setting up a Strapi application using a pre-designed blog template, which simplifies the process of integrating a dynamic content management system with a static site generator. Strapi, an open-source headless CMS, allows for easy long-term content management, while Jekyll, a popular static site generator, is used to create and manage the static website. The tutorial walks through configuring Jekyll to fetch and display content from Strapi by using a custom plugin, jekyll-strapi, which connects the two platforms. It details the steps required to display articles, manage categories, and customize the layout and appearance of the blog using Jekyll's theme system. The tutorial concludes by encouraging users to explore additional features and adapt the project to their needs, while providing readers with insights into the author's background and interests.
