To create a MERN stack blog, you'll need to follow these steps:
Set up a development environment: You'll need to install Node.js, Express, React, and MongoDB to build your website.
Build the back-end: Create a MongoDB database to store your users' data, such as usernames, passwords, posts, and comments. You'll then need to create a REST API using Express that interacts with your database to handle user authentication and data management.
Build the front-end: Use React to create the user interface for your website, including the login page, registration page, post and comments page, and profile page.
Implement authentication: You'll need to implement secure authentication for your users, such as storing hashed passwords in the database and using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to validate user sessions.
Create post and comment functionality: You'll need to add functionality to allow users to create posts, and for other users to leave comments on those posts.
Implement profile functionality: You'll need to create a profile page that displays the user's information, such as their username, posts, and comments.
Add sections: To organize your website's content, you can add sections to categorize posts and make it easier for users to find what they're looking for.
Add experts with a tick: To recognize experts in your community, you can add a feature that allows users to mark themselves as experts in certain topics, and display a special symbol next to their name (e.g., a tick).
By following these steps, you'll be able to create a MERN stack blog website.
