Intro

I recently helped a friend of mine create a live blog using my nextjs blog starter. The process took 5 minutes so I thought I would write a brief guide.

You will need:

A github account

A zeit account

Step 1: Use the template

Create a repository from the template.

Step 2: Import your new repository on zeit

Go to https://zeit.co/import/git and import your project

Select your repository

Import your project and give it a name

The project is not in a sub-directory so leave blank

Zeit will auto detect your nextjs project so press deploy

Step 3: ...?

Wait for your build

Step 4: Profit

Your blog is now live, and you can check it out at the given link
