We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 50): 17/ I’m not an expert at any of this. I tried blogdown in 2018, got 2 posts up, and then I got lost in hugo. And I never asked for help. But I never lost my interest, and I’m so glad that I stumbled upon distill two years later. And I ask for help when I need it. 💜

Dr Elizabeth Stark (@tech_is_dead; 31): @suziesheehy I recommend netlify for DIY websites - we use it to host https://t.co/jtfHGDg3Zl (written with #rstats/blogdown/hugo) or squarespace if you want a complete and pretty content management system and don’t mind some cost.

Rosie A (@rosieabe; 22): i updated my blog with a different theme. I don’t have a ton on my blog (more like a parking spot for my name dot com), but the process is so painless with blogdown i started just playing with themes for fun #rstats 🥳

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 22): Man, Hugo Academic sure switched to a hard sell on the new wowchemy product, eh? Been a while since I made a new #rstats #blogdown site; it’s almost unfamiliar!

Mattan S. Ben-Shachar (@mattansb; 22): Why is that every time I update #blogdown I have to fix a million things to get my blog working again? (RSS, relative links…) > It can’t be just me, right? #rstats

Dr. Robert M Flight, PhD (@rmflight; 20): @WeAreRLadies I’m in the process of converting my blogdown blog to distill, and am looking forward to getting it up soon, as well as getting new posts up. > Every bit of it outside theming has been wonderful, honestly.

Sam Clifford (@samclifford; 20): @samfrowe A few years ago I migrated from WordPress to github Pages because I could build a site with blogdown in r and put code, references and graphics in my blog posts. https://t.co/VxHFEDYKu5 very basic but capable of Cool Stuff

Alexa Fredston (@AFredston; 20): @JennMcHenry I (and many others) use it for professional personal websites, if that’s what you mean! here’s the bible for this: https://t.co/blg5rgPZCL and a great tutorial by @jamiecmonty: https://t.co/E5FPSBNxa4 you can also fork the github repo of someone else’s website as a template.

Planetirf (@planetirf; 20): @ChelseaDirtball blogdown thru R works alright thoo they updated some stuff i haven’t kept mine up to date — squarespace prolly make life easy

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 20): @Amit_Levinson @mattansb Two most important things to do with blogdown v1.0: 1) Pin the Hugo version (this is the most significant source of pain); 2) Run blogdown::check_site(). I guess 99% of your pain would be gone after you do these two things.

Lars Schöbitz (@larnsce; 11): There is a range of #rstats packages that are frameworks to build a website. For example, #distill, #blogdown, or #bookdown, but that’s a lot to think about. https://t.co/XubmuvRM2P https://t.co/nJvwR5KG3Y https://t.co/cyQiMkUjBC

Tyler Pritchard (@PritchardPsych; 10): @DrAndreaHoward I use the blogdown package and upload my posts directly from R. It’s easy and looks good.

Christophe Dervieux (@chrisderv; 10): @BenjaminWolfe I believe this is an issue in blogdown. This is because the repo have changed name. gcushen/hugo-academic is now pointing to wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-modules, but blogdown will use instead ‘wowchemy/starter-academic’ . defautl branch is different. I’ll push a fix for this.

Jenny Sloane (@jfsloane; 10): @samfrowe I use blogdown (package in R) - perfect for academic websites! https://t.co/kHWI7lmkRK

Ecléctikus (at home 🌴) (@scienceisbeauty; 10): @manolitocastro Por eso yo creo que es una discusión estéril. Yo llevo toda la vida programando pero no soy programador, por eso me siento más cómodo con R. Además soy muy fan de Tidyverse, Knitr, RMarkdown, Blogdown…

You Can Grad School (@can_grad; 10): @chantelchizen @ChelseaDirtball Thank you so much! We are more than happy to field any questions. Definitely check out @apreshill posts about using blogdown and netlify and really anything she does https://t.co/HJYUxbuGtY

Amit Levinson (@Amit_Levinson; 10): @mattansb That seems odd. Usually I don’t have any issues after updating (except for the last big update). There’s a series of checks you can do in the new blogdown package, maybe something is off in one of your files e.g. config/netlify? https://t.co/HTolenTeUQ

Houston H Haynes (@h3techdev; 10): @jamesdrandall @FableCompiler Damn - right up my alley. I was just doing a survey of static site tooling in the F# stack - not necessarily wanting to replace my R/blogdown/Hugo site quite yet - but have been looking for a similar stack for blogging about my F# projects. 🙂

Dr Elizabeth Stark (@tech_is_dead; 0/1): Thinking of moving @SymbolixAU’s website fully over to blogdown/hugo/netlify. Who has beautiful examples of hugo/blogdown websites I should check out? > #blogdown #hugo

Jed Brown (@five9a2; 0/1): @kehoste @MkDocsProject Hugo or Sphinx (https://t.co/XV1qJg0SWY). MyST-NB if you’d like to make your figures using Jupyter. https://t.co/MVChtpBjPy Blogdown if you want to use RStudio.

Alison Presmanes Hill (@apreshill; 383): @WeAreRLadies I’m also a huge convert to the church of making PRs to yourself.

Michael McCarthy (@mccarthymg; 10): @sTeamTraen @lakens knitr creates a separate session to rerun the code in when clicking the knit button, so it doesn’t matter if you have run any of the code yourself beforehand. This SO answer gives more details and provides workarounds: https://t.co/omWGLD4h4G
