So far, we’ve been leveraging GitHub Pages for publishing. This works great, but for blogdown we’ll start using Netlify. Let’s start RIGHT NOW with a site we’ve already built and published.

Pre-requisites

Pick either your postcards site, or your distill site from day 01. Refresh your memory- which repository was it again?

Using blogdown

Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Pre-requisites

First, make sure you have the latest version of the blogdown package installed from CRAN:

install.packages("blogdoown")

Restart your R session. If you use RStudio, use the menu item Session > Restart R or the associated keyboard shortcut:

Ctrl + Shift + F10 (Windows and Linux) or
Command + Shift + F10 (Mac OS).

packageVersion("blogdown")
[1] ‘1.0’

Create GitHub repo

Online.

Clone GitHub repo

usethis::create_from_github("https://github.com/apreshill/global-blogdown.git")

✨ Commit & Push! ✨

You should be committing these files:

*.Rproj
.gitignore

Create a new blogdown site

We’ll be using a new Hugo theme that I made for us!

Inside your current blogdown project, use the R console:

library(blogdown)

Let’s start with making the website with the theme:

new_site(dir = ".", theme = "apreshill/blogophonic")

Configure your site

The first stop on this tour of your site is the config.yaml file.

To remove me, delete this line inside that file: {{< here >}}

My content section is:: collection

My layout is:: single-series
