# https://www.blogger.com/feeds

Manual Deploy

1 . Create an account on https://heroku.com. This should be pretty straight forward.

2 . Install the Heroku CLI on your computer: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli.

Check that you have the heroku-cli installed by checking the version number in your terminal:

heroku --version

3 . Connect the Heroku CLI to your account by writing the following command in your terminal and follow the instructions on the command line:

heroku login

Use your credentials from the earlier account creation.

4 . Then create a remote heroku project, kinda like creating a git repository on GitHub. This will create a project on Heroku with a random name. If you want to name your app you have to supply your own name like heroku create project-name. The command below will just create a random name:

heroku create

5 . Push your app to Heroku like pushing to GitHub expect for origin you have heroku (you will see a wall of code).

git push heroku master

6 . Visit your newly create app by opening it via heroku:

heroku open

7 . Visit your newly create app by opening it via heroku:

heroku config:set API_URL=XXX
heroku config:set BLOG_ID=XXX

If you are getting errors you can view the error logs by running this command:

heroku logs --tail

This might give you a hint on what's wrong.
