# Getting Started with MDX in Next.js
MDX is a powerful format that allows you to write JSX in your markdown documents. This makes it perfect for creating rich, interactive blog posts.
## What is MDX?
MDX is an extension of Markdown that allows you to use JSX in your content. This means you can:
- Write regular markdown
- Import and use React components
- Add interactive elements
- Style your content with Tailwind CSS
## Why Use MDX for Blog Posts?
1. **Rich Content**: Add interactive components to your posts
2. **Consistent Styling**: Use your existing design system
3. **SEO Optimized**: Generate static pages with proper metadata
4. **Developer Friendly**: Write content in a familiar format
## Example Code Block
```javascript
import { useState } from 'react'
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0)
return (
)
}
```
