Build a Website
The ability to integrate R Markdown into websites and virtual portfolios makes for a very powerful communications platform. This website, for instance, is all written using the blogdown package and it’s integration with Hugo, GitHub, and Netlify, which allow for seamless site rendering and hosting. It’s possible for you to learn how to build your own site using the same strategy, but there are also simpler methods which you can employ.
Building a website may be beyond your time and abilities this semester, however, the resources below can help you explore how to do this in the future.
