Setup guide
- Sanity: Create a Sanity project and define a post schema with fields for title, slug, author, publish date, body, and cover image. Add a few draft posts in Sanity Studio, publish them, and use a read token only if the dataset is private. (Open Sanity instructions)
- Framer: Build the blog index and article template in Framer. Use a compatible Sanity-to-Framer CMS plugin, review its permissions and item limits, and map the published post fields into a Framer collection. Sync a test article and verify its slug, rich text and images. Edit the source article and re-sync to confirm updates; do not assume the integration is automatic or supports every field. Keep private Sanity tokens out of browser components. (Open Framer instructions)
- Cloudinary: Create a Cloudinary account, upload the blog's source images, and use transformed delivery URLs for responsive sizes and modern formats. Store the Cloudinary public ID or delivery URL with each Sanity post, then confirm that article images stay sharp without loading the originals. (Open Cloudinary instructions)
