 Use the `MDXLayoutRenderer` component in a page where you want to accept a layout name to map to the desired layout.

+## Analytics
+
+The template now supports [plausible](https://plausible.io/), [simple analytics](https://simpleanalytics.com/) and google analytics.
+Configure `siteMetadata.js` with the settings that correpond with the desired analytics provider.
+
+```js
+analytics: {
+    // supports plausible, simpleAnalytics or googleAnalytics
+    plausibleDataDomain: '', // e.g. tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog.vercel.app
+    simpleAnalytics: false, // true or false
+    googleAnalyticsId: '', // e.g. UA-000000-2 or G-XXXXXXX
+  },
+```
+
+Custom events are also supported. You can import the `logEvent` function from `@components/analytics/[ANALYTICS-PROVIDER]` file and call it when
+triggering certain events of interest. _Note_: Additional configuration might be required depending on the analytics provider, please check their official
+documentation for more information.
