Anglefeint Starter Guide 1: Configure Your Site

If you created your project from the Anglefeint starter, begin in src/site.config.ts.

That file is the main user-facing configuration entry. You do not need to chase settings across src/config/* or src/i18n/*.

Start with site identity

Replace these fields first:

site: {
  title: 'Your Site Name',
  description: 'Your default site description.',
  url: 'https://example.com',
  author: 'Your Name',
  tagline: 'Built with Astro.',
}

What they currently affect:

• site.title: header, footer, page metadata, and RSS title
• site.description: site-level default description; the home page falls back to it when the current locale does not provide messages.siteDescription
• site.url: canonical URL, alternate locale URLs, RSS, and robots output
• site.author: default article author and SEO author metadata
• site.tagline: footer copy

Set site.url to your real production domain before deployment.

Add your social links

Header and footer social links come from:

social: {
  links: [
    { href: 'https://github.com/yourname', label: 'GitHub', icon: 'github' },
    { href: 'https://x.com/yourname', label: 'Twitter', icon: 'twitter' },
  ],
}

Supported built-in icons:

• github
• twitter
• mastodon

Decide whether to keep the About page

Use:

theme: {
  enableAboutPage: true,
}

Set it to false if you do not want /[lang]/about/ generated or shown in the header.

Replace starter content

Posts live in:

src/content/blog/<locale>/

To create a new localized post:

npm run new-post -- your-first-post
