Wow, that dark theme are look so nice. I hosted my personal website on GitHub pages with GatsbyJS too (you might check it out at desenfirman.github.io ). But I still had problem on my post that not indexed by Google. Did you have any ideas on it? (Eg: plugin or more configs, or etc)

I'm still researching the SEO & deployment sides of my website. Here's what I have researched about and plan to implement till now:

  • I would suggest you go through this support section by Google on how you can make it easier for Google to index your site: support.google.com/webmasters/answ...
    • Eventually, I am planning to host on Netlify and so I will be using their new Sitemap Build Plugin to generate a sitemap and submit it. The Gatsby Sitemap plugin is an option too.
    • To mark my URLs "canonical", Gatsby has a nifty plugin that u can implement here. These are important since if I post my blog to both DEV and my website, google will mark the content on my site as duplicate and won't index it.
  • A thing I have learned to improve my visibility on google is the correct use of Titles and tags. You should subscribe to the Blogging for Devs to learn more about it, as Monica Lent explains those in a very beginner-friendly way!
  • I will be producing a further blog post too once I am done with the deployment and SEO side of things where I will be outlining all the steps I took.

Your site looks cool 😎! Skillful use of the typing effect I would say, love the animations 😁
