Build a Blog With GitHub and MkDocs
There are many options for building and hosting personal blogs. It is possible to use one of the well-known blogging platforms such as WordPress, Blogger, and Tumblr to host your blog. With this option, you don’t need to worry about maintaining the blog’s infrastructure and the blogging platform.
On the other hand, you can host your own blog on one of the cloud providers. Below is a well-documented article that describes how to achieve this task using Ghost and DigitalOcean:

All the options mentioned above have some drawbacks:
- You have to maintain the infrastructure.
- It is not free.
- Editing the blog posts is not comfortable (at least for me).
Another option for creating a blog host is to use GitHub Pages. This service from GitHub provides a way to build a static web page for individual project repositories or for the GitHub organization/account. In this article, we will explain step by step how we can use GitHub Pages to host a personalized blog.

How To Create a Developer Blog on DevDojo
Nowadays, creating a blog is easy. But, with all the different options available, you might go crazy by just doing the research.
Should you choose WordPress and tweak the theme to get it the way you like, or a static site generator with no admin interface and complicated build processes?
All you want is a simple blog where you can write about the shit you love.
So why can’t it be simpler? Well, now it is with the DevDojo Dev Blog!
Setting up a Domain
Your Dev Blog will have a default subdomain username.devdojo.com, and you may choose to add a custom domain as well.
If you wish to use a custom domain, add a CNAME record to your Cloudflare DNS, with your subdomain in the CONTENT section. Wait a few minutes and you’ll have your custom domain resolving in minutes.
Want a video on how to do this, You got it!
Themes
At the moment of writing this, there are 2 themes you can choose from (many more to come). Each theme will have a light/dark mode and is built for speed!
Themes are built using the awesome TailwindCSS library. If you pair that with PurgeCSS, minimal javascript, and Cloudflare caching. That’s just a recipe for a fast website.
