This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

This app requires the back end set up and running. Once you've set up the back end, continue with the instructions.

First, install the npm dependencies using the command line and running the following inside the 'MyFirstBlogFrontEnd' directory:

npm install

Next, create a new file named .env.local and copy the contents of the .env.local.example file into it. We'll be filling in the missing entries throughout this setup.

Ensure the backend server is running.

Then, run the development server:

npm run dev

Finally, open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to view the website.

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page will automatically update as you edit the file.
