Tutorial: Build a Blog Powered by Google Sheets

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a fully functional blog using Google Sheets as your content management system (CMS). This approach gives you the simplicity of a spreadsheet editor with the power of a dynamic website.

Time to complete: 25-30 minutes

What you’ll build:

• A blog homepage with post listings
• Individual post pages with full content
• Category filtering and search
• SEO-friendly metadata

Prerequisites

• A SheetsJSON account (sign up here)
• Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• A Google Sheet for your blog content

Why Use Google Sheets as a CMS?

• ✅ Familiar interface — Anyone can update content
• ✅ Real-time collaboration — Multiple editors can work simultaneously
• ✅ Version history — Built-in revision tracking
• ✅ No database needed — Sheets handles storage
• ✅ Mobile editing — Update posts from anywhere

Step 1: Set Up Your Blog Sheet

Create a Google Sheet with these columns:

slug	title	excerpt	content	author	author_avatar	category	tags	featured_image	published	published_at
hello-world	Hello World	Welcome to my blog!	Full markdown content…	Jane Doe	https://…	Tech	javascript,tutorial	https://…	true	2024-01-15

Column Descriptions

Column	Type	Description
slug	String	URL-friendly identifier (e.g., my-first-post)
title	String	Post title
excerpt	String	Short summary (150-200 chars)
content	String	Full post content (supports Markdown)
author	String	Author’s display name
author_avatar	URL	Author’s profile image
category	String	Primary category
tags	String	Comma-separated tags
featured_image	URL	Hero image for the post
published	Boolean	true or false
published_at	Date	Publication date (YYYY-MM-DD)

Tip: For long content, you can use multiple cells merged together or link to a Google Doc and fetch content separately.

Step 2: Connect to SheetsJSON

1. Go to your SheetsJSON Dashboard
2. Click Connect Sheet and select your blog sheet
3. Note your endpoint: https://api.sheetsjson.com/api/sheets/{account}/{sheet}
4. Set cache TTL to 60-300 seconds for good performance

Step 3: Create the Blog Structure

Create the following file structure:

blog/
├── index.html      # Blog homepage
├── post.html       # Individual post page
├── styles.css      # Custom styles
└── blog.js         # Shared JavaScript

Create the Shared JavaScript (blog.js)

// Blog Configuration
const BLOG_CONFIG = {
  apiBase: 'https://api.sheetsjson.com/api/sheets',
  accountSlug: 'your-account',   // Replace with your account slug
  sheetSlug: 'blog-posts',       // Replace with your sheet slug
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',        // Replace if authentication is required
  postsPerPage: 10,
  siteName: 'My Awesome Blog'
};

// Fetch posts from SheetsJSON
async function fetchPosts(params = {}) {
  const url = new URL(`${BLOG_CONFIG.apiBase}/${BLOG_CONFIG.accountSlug}/${BLOG_CONFIG.sheetSlug}`);
  
  // Always filter to published posts only
  url.searchParams.set('filter[published]', 'true');
  
  // Add additional parameters
  Object.entries(params).forEach(([key, value]) => {
    if (value !== undefined && value !== null && value !== '') {
      url.searchParams.set(key, value);
    }
  });
  
  const headers = {};
  if (BLOG_CONFIG.apiKey) {
    headers['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${BLOG_CONFIG.apiKey}`;
  }
  
  try {
    const response = await fetch(url, { headers });
    
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error: ${response.status}`);
    }
    
    const data = await response.json();
    return data.data || [];
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to fetch posts:', error);
    return [];
  }
}

// Fetch a single post by slug
async function fetchPostBySlug(slug) {
  const posts = await fetchPosts({
    'filter[slug]': slug,
    'limit': 1
  });
  
  return posts[0] || null;
}

// Format date for display
function formatDate(dateString) {
  if (!dateString) return '';
  
  const date = new Date(dateString);
  return date.toLocaleDateString('en-US', {
    year: 'numeric',
    month: 'long',
    day: 'numeric'
  });
}

// Parse tags from comma-separated string
function parseTags(tagsString) {
  if (!tagsString) return [];
  return tagsString.split(',').map(tag => tag.trim()).filter(Boolean);
}

// Simple Markdown to HTML converter
function markdownToHtml(markdown) {
  if (!markdown) return '';
  
  return markdown
    // Headers
    .replace(/^### (.*$)/gim, '<h3>$1</h3>')
    .replace(/^## (.*$)/gim, '<h2>$1</h2>')
    .replace(/^# (.*$)/gim, '<h1>$1</h1>')
    // Bold
    .replace(/\*\*(.*?)\*\*/gim, '<strong>$1</strong>')
    // Italic
    .replace(/\*(.*?)\*/gim, '<em>$1</em>')
    // Links
    .replace(/\[(.*?)\]\((.*?)\)/gim, '<a href="$2" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline">$1</a>')
    // Images
    .replace(/!\[(.*?)\]\((.*?)\)/gim, '<img src="$2" alt="$1" class="rounded-lg my-4">')
    // Code blocks
    .replace(/```([\s\S]*?)```/gim, '<pre class="bg-gray-900 text-gray-100 p-4 rounded-lg overflow-x-auto my-4"><code>$1</code></pre>')
    // Inline code
    .replace(/`(.*?)`/gim, '<code class="bg-gray-100 px-1 py-0.5 rounded text-sm">$1</code>')
    // Blockquotes
    .replace(/^\> (.*$)/gim, '<blockquote class="border-l-4 border-blue-500 pl-4 italic text-gray-600 my-4">$1</blockquote>')
    // Unordered lists
    .replace(/^\- (.*$)/gim, '<li>$1</li>')
    // Paragraphs (simple version)
    .replace(/\n\n/gim, '</p><p class="mb-4">')
    // Line breaks
    .replace(/\n/gim, '<br>');
}

// Calculate reading time
function calculateReadingTime(content) {
  if (!content) return '1 min read';
  
  const wordsPerMinute = 200;
  const wordCount = content.split(/\s+/).length;
  const minutes = Math.ceil(wordCount / wordsPerMinute);
  
  return `${minutes} min read`;
}

// Update page metadata
function updateMetadata(title, description, image) {
  document.title = title ? `${title} | ${BLOG_CONFIG.siteName}` : BLOG_CONFIG.siteName;
  
  // Update meta description
  let metaDesc = document.querySelector('meta[name="description"]');
  if (!metaDesc) {
    metaDesc = document.createElement('meta');
    metaDesc.name = 'description';
    document.head.appendChild(metaDesc);
  }
  metaDesc.content = description || '';
  
  // Update Open Graph tags
  updateOgTag('og:title', title);
  updateOgTag('og:description', description);
  updateOgTag('og:image', image);
}

function updateOgTag(property, content) {
  let tag = document.querySelector(`meta[property="${property}"]`);
  if (!tag) {
    tag = document.createElement('meta');
    tag.setAttribute('property', property);
    document.head.appendChild(tag);
  }
  tag.content = content || '';
}

// Get URL parameters
function getUrlParam(param) {
  const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
  return urlParams.get(param);
}

Step 4: Create the Blog Homepage

Create index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

Step 5: Create the Post Page

Create post.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

Step 6: Writing Content in Google Sheets

Tips for Writing Posts

1. Use Markdown in the content column:

   ## Introduction
   
   This is my first paragraph with **bold** and *italic* text.
   
   ### Key Points
   
   - Point one
   - Point two
   - Point three
   
   Here's a [link](https://example.com) to more info.

2. For long content, consider using Google Docs and embedding a link, or split content across multiple columns.

3. Use consistent slugs — lowercase, hyphen-separated (e.g., my-awesome-post).

4. Set published to false while drafting, then change to true when ready.

Step 7: Add Draft Preview (Optional)

Allow authors to preview unpublished posts with a secret parameter:

// In blog.js, modify fetchPosts:
async function fetchPosts(params = {}, includeDrafts = false) {
  const url = new URL(`${BLOG_CONFIG.apiBase}/${BLOG_CONFIG.accountSlug}/${BLOG_CONFIG.sheetSlug}`);
  
  // Only filter published if not including drafts
  if (!includeDrafts) {
    url.searchParams.set('filter[published]', 'true');
  }
  
  // ... rest of function
}

// In post.html, check for preview param:
async function init() {
  const slug = getUrlParam('slug');
  const preview = getUrlParam('preview') === 'true';
  
  // ... fetch post with includeDrafts = preview
}

Access drafts with: post.html?slug=my-draft&preview=true

Deployment Options

1. Static Hosting — Deploy to Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages
2. Your Own Server — Any web server that can serve static files
3. CDN — Use Cloudflare Pages or similar for global distribution

Performance Tips

1. Set appropriate cache TTL — 60-300 seconds balances freshness and speed
2. Lazy load images — Add loading="lazy" to image tags
3. Paginate posts — Don’t load all posts at once
4. Use a CDN for images — Host images on a CDN for faster loading

SEO Considerations

1. Unique meta descriptions — Set from post excerpts
2. Open Graph tags — For social media sharing
3. Clean URLs — Use descriptive slugs
4. Structured data — Add JSON-LD for rich search results
5. Sitemap — Generate from your posts list
