Step 2: Edit Your Template

After installing the dependencies, open your project in a text editor like VS Code to start making customizations.

1. Update content
   Modify the Markdown or component files located in the src/content directory to add your own content, such as text, images, or new pages.

2. Customize styles
   To personalize the design, you can edit the Tailwind CSS configuration in tailwind.config.js to change things like colors, fonts, and spacing.

Step 3: Deploy to Vercel
