I just taught a conference workshop for R newbies, and I wanted to send them home with an online booklet (https://t.co/kadYTvrazx) to try out. @xieyihui’s wonderful bookdown to the rescue! The sugar on top? @eddelbuettel ’s binb package for the slides (https://t.co/RPldiCwbo5).

Malcolm Barrett 🦁🐻 (@malco_barrett; 168/27): Just added to my Rprofile: a function that takes R Markdown HTML slides, moves them to the static folder of my blogdown site, and pushes it to the web. Gist: https://t.co/oCiqMZumnt

I can’t tell you how many times the fs and git2r #rstats packages have made my life easier! ↪

Chi Zhang (Andrea) (@Andreasheenn; 28/7): Yesterday I gave my first talk (ever) at my local R Meetup on #blogdown, it was fun 😄 I have a companion blogpost (like everybody) on https://t.co/3rkx6CR1ek. Glad to join the community! Thanks @xieyihui @apreshill for making it easy 😇 #rstats #rladies @RLadiesOslo https://t.co/WCDFsSiN3j ↪

Steen Harsted (@SteenHarsted; 22/0): @KBoogie @thomasp85 Stay tuned - I will write a blog and share some code :-) (as soon as I learn blogdown or something similar). ↪

Alex Albright (@AllbriteAllday; 18/2): Was a guest speaker today in the Harvard undergrad “Gov 1005: Data” class! Demo’d how I use #rstats notebooks/Github/RPubs/#blogdown to make my content reproducible & accessible. 👩‍💻 Thanks to XKCD for providing me (a self-taught useR) with the perfect content for my last slide. https://t.co/F79EOjxO08 ↪

Sally Grace (@sallyagrace; 9/2): Shoutout to Twitter lord @dsquintana for making this thread on how to build your own academic website in #rstats blogdown so easy to follow! 🙌

You can find mine at https://t.co/B1NglThTxv https://t.co/YOG5yl8DXY ↪

𝙸𝚕𝚓𝚊 #saveYourInternet (@fubits; 5/3): TIL that even if even you just use #blogdown only, the #bookdown book is a must-read nonetheless - i.e. because of ⁦@xieyihui⁩’s intro to essential YAML basics. I’m afraid that this probably is also true for the RMarkdown book… 😬 #rstats https://t.co/HB2QAuPjum ↪

Edward Anton Rubin (@edrubin; 3/1): @JoshuaSGoodman You can also build with R Markdown (https://t.co/GmCWQYm5e3) and Github pages for a totally free website (example: https://t.co/43xrcmhKH8).

Blogdown (https://t.co/4VLVmSvAFG) is super fast (and also free). ↪

AlfredoSanchez-Tojar (@ASanchez_Tojar; 3/0): Half way (20h) through my trip to #ESHCanberra2019 & I managed to put together an academic website using blogdown. Hoping to launch it very soon. Stay tuned! ↪

AlfredoSanchez-Tojar (@ASanchez_Tojar; 3/0): @kirstyjean A potential alternative could be using blogdown. Below there is an excellent tutorial to create an academic website using blogdown: https://t.co/ybWR6sllio ↪

🇲🇽 Dr. Leonardo Collado-Torres (@fellgernon; 3/0): I can make hugo/#blogdown websites, but I think that it might be best to get a designer to update my mom’s https://t.co/hC65W2BSDK for 2019 PC/mobile browsing & adding web shopping utilities.

Do your recommend someone? Or do you have an hugo theme +some web shop plugins in mind? https://t.co/wrTocHh9XK ↪

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 3/0): @cantabile @rensa_co @apreshill Oh, thanks Twitter for the disorganized conversations… I just saw this one. Maybe Stack Overflow next time?

I don’t like YAML or TOML (fn 23: https://t.co/26O5kGHzQn), but I don’t know a better alternative, either. The world of config languages is a total mess. ↪

jsonpott (@jsonpott; 2/1): @TheDataAnts @rstats4ds @rstats @sirajraval Rmarkdown and blog down? You can then host using nettify and github/bucket

https://t.co/wF5KQp9Lec ↪

Aditya Mangal (@AdityaMangal410; 2/1): Moved over blog from using #pelican on #github pages to #blogdown on @Netlify. Took less than an hour, super impressed with both of these tools! 😎👏🏻 #rstats Check it out here - https://t.co/D9lRHoBXYm ↪

jormtz (@mtzzmtzz; 2/0): creo que no entiendo muy bien lo que hice, pero siguiendo varios tutoriales por fin pude montar un sitio de prueba en GitHub Pages con blogdown y Hugo ↪

Ilya Kashnitsky (@ikashnitsky; 2/0): @SteenHarsted @umairdurrani87 @_seantma @thomasp85 Another option is to ask for setup help at https://t.co/e5c4qd7oxR. The community is amazing at promoting easy #blogdown.

ＪＥＭＳＵ (@Jemus42; 1/2): Is it just me or is a decent content security policy (CSP) header really painful to figure out for #shiny, #RMarkdown and #blogdown projects if you haven’t basically DIY’d the whole project from the ground up for safety? #rstats ↪

Dorris A. Scott (@Dorris_Scott; 1/0): This might be useful for those who use blogdown. How to add Google Analytics on your Hugo site: https://t.co/N3mLmQdfi1. Some themes already have the Google Analytics set up, so all you need to do is set up your Google Analytics site and get a tracking ID! ↪

Pachá 帕夏 (@pachamaltese; 1/0): @DataKimist Python: my blog was made with Python before moving to blogdown. R: APIs, SQL connections, automated reports, linear models ↪

Many of you have helped me correct typos and clean up my code. Thank you!

If anyone has further suggestions on how to improve the text, now’s the time. ↪

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 20/2): @yoniceedee @apreshill @ijlyttle @cantabile @RoelandtN42 @rensa_co @JenRichmondPhD @WeAreRLadies I’m surprised that you still haven’t got an answer, with the help of so many experts in my eyes. I’m never a fan of YAML, but… I’m afraid you have to learn YAML anyway. Answer:

How do you recommend to deal with URLs? Using link is a problem when in the print version, and using the full URL inline hurts readability.
Maybe have a separate bibliography for URLs? ↪
