The R package blogdown (https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/) makes it possible to build beautiful "out of the box" websites from within your RStudio IDE. In this workshop, we'll create and publish a website using the blogdown package and the Hugo Academic theme (https://sourcethemes.com/academic/). You'll learn how to personalize both the style and content of your site. Bring your laptop, make sure you have the RStudio IDE installed and working, and don't forget your power cord!
