Personal Website in R {blogdown}

ABOUT:

I wanted to do 3 things during the summer of 2021: create a personal site, learn R, and begin a blog. This project hit three birds with one stone! Making a personal website was a little daunting because of one major problem: I could not code. However, around this time I began learning R for statistics, and in a fit of desperation and curiosity, I googled whether the R could create websites. And lo and behold, the answer to all my problems: the R{blogdown} package! Its blog widget even tied in perfectly with another one of my summer goals: starting a blog.

• I Learned How To: use the R package {blogdown} for creating & editing websites, the basics of Git and Github, and basic CSS.
• Next I Want To: maintain this site as my semi-professional online presence, and try other cool R packages to make interesting things (like {shiny} for making apps).
