Blogging with R

talk given at Coding Club UC3M

Day: Tuesday March 26th, 2019
Time: 16:30 - 17:30

Abstract:

In this talk, we will build a simple blog using R-Markdown, Jekyll and GitHub pages. We will use the blogdown package for R that allows to easily build a personal blog containing scientific contents, such as professional plots (made by ggplot2) and mathematical formulas.

The choice for GitHub pages allows to build a blog for free and without any need of a personal server. The talk will show a simple and ready to use workflow to make and handle a personal blog. Then, depending on time, it will address stylistic issues and/or advanced content publications.

Requirements:

  • tidyverse and blogdown packages for R, better to have also installed the RStudio IDE
  • a free account on GitHub
  • the Jekyll static website generator
