Next.js is a React framework for building hybrid applications. It&#39;s flexible, extensible, and works great with any data provider. In this tutorial, part two of a two-part series, we&#39;ll show you how to build a blog with Cosmic CMS and Next.js (you can watch part one, Getting Started with Cosmic CMS and Next.js <a href="https://www.cosmicjs.com/articles/getting-started-with-cosmic-cms-and-nextjs">here</a>). We&#39;ll run our blog locally, talk through static-site generation, and publish updates to our site. Next, we&#39;ll discuss preview mode and how to draft posts <a href="/knowledge-base/nextjs-cms">Cosmic CMS.</a> Finally, we&#39;ll walk through fallback loading states and publish our draft post to production.&nbsp;<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/sdvdwo3g3PE?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" style="width: 100%; height: 360px;"></iframe>
