Welcome to the Cloudflare Pages Blog repository. This project is designed to host a static blog using Cloudflare Pages, leveraging its seamless integration with GitHub for continuous deployment. This blog is built with Jekyll, a popular static site generator, allowing for easy content management and theme customization.

Features

• Fast and Secure: Hosted on Cloudflare Pages, the blog benefits from fast CDN delivery and built-in SSL.
