This Jekyll-based blog was started January 2014, at which time a few items previously stored on wordpress were transferred here. The advantage of blogging with Jekyll is mainly that the files are local and can be created in a standard text editor. The disadvantage is that anything not in the wordpress system is a bit hidden from the blogging community.
Enter the assets
directory. Create a file with a name like
yyyy-mm-dd-topic.Rmd
and write an entry. It is easiest to pattern this on
existing entries. Then, type make yyyy-mm-dd-topic.md
(with your date and
topic). This will create some files, and at the end you'll see a message
telling you what to do next, namely to go up a directory, type make
and then
git add/commit/push.
