Nicolas Roelandt (@RoelandtN42; 6/0): For a school project, we are writing a report using @road2stat ’s liftr. We’ll need to make a slideshow, so @xieyihui ’s Xaringan will be handy. A side request is to build a website, I guess blogdown will do the job. Is mixing those 3 in the same project ok ? #rstats

Mark Sellors (@sellorm; 3/0): @prashanthsriram If you need any #blogdown inspiration, there are lots of blogs to check out here -> https://t.co/OW87DWyGG6

Sharla Gelfand (@sharlagelfand; 2/0): i also migrated my blog to start using blogdown, and moved it to netlify! excuse me if things look a little off while i tidy (heh heh) it to my liking 🔧

Nan Xiao (@road2stat; 1/0): @RoelandtN42 @xieyihui Good point. For liftr, we had plans for containerizing R Markdown websites https://t.co/RLthG6PGYa and Xaringan slides https://t.co/LqVb7fgnJq. The blogdown case might be a bit more complicated but worth looking into: https://t.co/UtjiNYfvOx

Robert M Flight (@rmflight; 1/0): @xieyihui Oh, and blogdown is so easy and such a pleasure to use, that maybe I’ll write enough that I think it is worth getting a proper domain.

Thank you for this package!

Nicolas Roelandt (@RoelandtN42; 0/0): @road2stat @xieyihui As expected, Xaringan is a no-brainer. I put it a new folder and it works like a charm. I red the blogdown docs quicly and I’m more concerned about the empty directory thing:

This empty directory needs to be at the root of the project ?

Daneel Olivaw (@d_olivaw; 0/0): blogdown is great and Hugo seems to work very well. But browsing https://t.co/VOIbDhyTIB is imposible. It takes FOR EVER to load. #rstats

Nicolas Roelandt (@RoelandtN42; 0/0): @road2stat @xieyihui My project is due in 2 weeks, so I plan to set xarigan and blogdown during the holidays. So if you remember, started from liftr and I put everything into a docs/ folder. I wonder if I can make a presentations folder and a blog one into that folder too. Or aside…

Nicolas Roelandt (@RoelandtN42; 0/0): @road2stat @xieyihui Thanks for your response :)

I wasn’t thinking something like that. for Xaringan, it makes more sense because we often write a paper and do some presentations about it.

For Blogdown, it might have an interest too, for cases like mine.

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 0/0): @rmflight It is almost 2018, and you still have “broken” links? No no, you should really learn 301 redirects: https://t.co/vBxb939WAb BTW I thought I made it clear in the blogdown book (Chapter 3) that I don’t recommend Github Pages or Travis but it seems I didn’t: https://t.co/mkwknWfHxq
