What Will We Create in This Tutorial?
This is the blog that we are going to create in this tutorial. It requires the pro version of Tail to add the custom style, but you can get a really nice website even without spending any money. Let’s start with the first step.
1. Create the Blog Page in Notion
Let’s begin by duplicating this blog template that Tail provides. Press on “Use this template” button from the top-right corner, then press on “Duplicate” and select the workspace where you want to duplicate it.
After you duplicated the template, you have to make it public. To do so press on the “Share” button from the top-right corner, turn on “Share to web” and copy the link to the page. You will need it in the next step.
2. Create the Website in Tail
Open Tail Dashboard and press on “New site”.
In the first field add the name of your blog. In the second field add the Notion page URL that you just copied at the previous step. The last field is optional and it represents the link for your website. If you enter “my-blog” into the field, the link to your blog will be https://my-blog.tail.fyi. Pick carefully, the link should be unique. Choose something that represents you, but don’t worry, you can change it later.
When you are done filling the fields press on “Create”. It can take up to 2 minutes until you can access it using the link. Nevertheless, you can click on it to open it in the dashboard.
Your blog should look like this. Feel free to delete the yellow box with the instructions after you finish this tutorial.
