Remove all the placeholder content and fill your blog with you.

Customize your About Page

• Open pages/about.md
• Write a short bio about yourself as a new software developer

Remove the Placeholder Content

We won't delete this yet, so you can look back on it for a reference.

• Rename posts/example.md to posts/example.md.old
• Rename posts/hello.md to posts/hello.md.old
• Rename pages/showcase.md to pages/showcase.md.old

Later, when you no longer need a reference, you can delete these files.

Customize the Site Navigation

• Open gatsby-config.js
• Customize the siteMetadata near the top of the file
  • Change the title, author, etc.
  • Comment out the showcase and example nave sections
  • Example:

// ...
  siteMetadata: {
    title: `blog_rick_love`,
    description: `It's about development mostly`,
    copyrights: '2020 Copyright Rick Love',
    author: `Rick Love`,
    logo: {
      src: '',
      alt: '',
    },
    logoText: 'blog_rick_love',
    defaultTheme: 'dark',
    postsPerPage: 5,
    showMenuItems: 2,
    menuMoreText: 'Show more',
    mainMenu: [
      {
        title: 'About',
        path: '/about',
      },
      // {
      //   title: 'Showcase',
      //   path: '/showcase',
      // },
      // {
      //   title: 'Example',
      //   path: '/example',
      // },
    ],
  },
// ...

Bonus: Change the Cursor Color
