When my institution discontinued support for personal FTP web space this summer, I decided to take the opportunity to learn to use the blogdown package in R (with the Hugo Academic theme and migrate my academic website to netlify.com. Mostly, it’s amazing, and I am deeply in debt to Alison Hill and the great tutorials she wrote for RStudio summer interns.
But in the early stages, I have already run into some wierd snags that I wasn’t able to solve using the Hugo documentation, especially since lots of the help assumes you are using Hugo directly and not via RStudio.
