BlogController.php

public function create()
    {
        // we will return to our new views
        return view('blog.create');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request
     * @return IlluminateHttpResponse
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        // we will create validation function here
        $this->validate($request,[
            'title'=> 'required',
            'description' => 'required',
        ]);

        $blog = new Blog;
        $blog->title = $request->title;
        $blog->description = $request->description;
        // save all data
        $blog->save();
        //redirect page after save data
        return redirect('blog')->with('message','data hasbeen updated!');
    }

Next, create new page for our Form insert data page (create.blade.php) will stored on resources\views\blog\create.blade.php

create.blade.php

<!-- @if (count($errors) > 0)
  <ul>
    @foreach ($errors->all() as $error )
      <li>{{ $error }}</li>
    @endforeach
  </ul>
@endif -->

<h2>Add new post</h2>
<form class="" action="/blog" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="title" value="" placeholder="this is title"><br>
  {{ ($errors->has('title')) ? $errors->first('title') : '' }} <br>

  <textarea name="description" rows="8" cols="40" placeholder="this is description"></textarea><br>
  {{ ($errors->has('description')) ? $errors->first('description') : '' }} <br>

  <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
  <input type="submit" name="name" value="post">
</form>

next, in the index page (index.blade.php) add new session to get the message session after form create hasbeen redirect to index page.

index.blade.php

{{ Session::get('message') }}

<h1>My First Blog</h1>
@foreach ($blogs as $blog)
  <h2>{{ $blog->title }}</h2>
  <p>{{ $blog->description }}</p>
  <hr>
@endforeach
