๐ How to Manage Your Site
Because Creative Mind is a Headless frontend, you do not need to touch the code to publish content.
- Publishing: Go to Blogger.com, write your article, and click publish. The Next.js site will fetch it instantly.
- Categories: Add "Labels" in Blogger (e.g., Tech, Gaming). These automatically become your website's Categories.
- Hero Images: The system automatically extracts the first image inside your Blogger post and uses it as the High-Quality Hero Image.
- Table of Contents: Just use standard Headings (H2, H3) in Blogger. The system auto-generates a sticky, clickable sidebar TOC.
