This post walks through how I built my Sanity Powered Blog System, and where it fits in the rest of my work.
I wanted a blog system that could grow with me and power long form content about my projects.
Sanity was the perfect backend.
Requirements
- Schema with SEO fields
- Category filters on the blog index

- Dynamic routing
Schema
The blogPost schema includes:

The index page fetches posts from Sanity and supports:
