Is there a simple guide on how to replace starlight-blog for another astro blog?

Starlight is cool for documentation, not pretty for blog.

Hi @Ricardo Batista. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the provided knowledge sources, there isn't a simple guide specifically for replacing the Starlight blog with another Astro blog in the OpenSaaS template. However, I can provide some insights and suggestions based on the available information: 1. The OpenSaaS template uses Starlight, which is an Astro template, for its blog component Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1204929776272281641). 2. Community Member 8 mentioned that in the long run, it might be better to create an integrated blog, but this wasn't a priority initially Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1204929776272281641). 3. If you want to use a different Astro blog setup, you could potentially set up a new Astro project for your blog. As Community Member 107 suggested, you might need to "refer to Astro docs and pretty much set up a new Astro site with npm create astro or something" Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1219684155072184440). 4. Keep in mind that changing the blog setup might require adjustments to deployment and analytics configurations, which are currently documented for the Starlight setup OpenSaaS docs (https://docs.opensaas.sh/guides/analytics/#adding-analytics-to-your-blog). If you decide to replace Starlight with another Astro blog setup, you'll likely need to: 1. Set up a new Astro project 2. Implement your preferred blog structure 3. Migrate your content 4. Update deployment configurations 5. Reconfigure analytics if needed However, there's no straightforward guide for this process in the provided knowledge sources. You might need to refer to Astro's documentation and potentially seek further assistance from the Astro community for a smooth transition. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Ricardo Batista, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

I'm directly using the app without the blog (for the blog): https://toograded.com/blog, I just forget to put the /blog/ in the articles but nothing difficult. In terms of seo I really prefer to have the blog in a /blog instead a subdomain. It may not be the most convenient, but if well organised, it can be more than enough.

Hey, in this video, I demonstrate how to easily add an article to our system. I walk through creating a new folder, adding components, creating a new file, and pasting content. I also show how to update the sitemap and share the code. No action requested from you, just a quick tutorial on the process.

This is very cool to see your process. What is happening with semrush? Is it creating the blog article for you?

Article generator, why not based on "my mind"? always have the ideas to automate with ChaGpt things for content and I don't think I've ever had the opportunity until now. I don't think I did a bad SEO job at this company from 0 until a couple of months ago when someone else took it over. Edit: Last time I had visited Analytics, around 90K-100K users/month

Hey guys, sorry for the delay! First of all, it was actually super simple to pick another Astro blog and deploy it 💪🏻 In regards to content generation, exactly, we’re building getaiablogarticles.com. We’re doing pretty well, doubling in MRR every month!
