You will be provided with a list of ways to sign in, choose whichever option suits you better but it would be advisable to sign in with 'Google' for ease.

After clicking on the link, fill in the required fields and your hashnode account is setup and ready to start blogging with.

Setting up a Subdomain

  1. Click on account settings
  2. Input your personal site name e.g olawumihealthblog

  4. On the next page, type in your subdomain name .hashnode.dev After following all the listed steps above, you have successfully setup your hashnode subdomain for a hashnode blog.
