Thanks for dropping through!
I started this blog with two goals in mind. The first is to build a portfolio of econometrics and data analysis projects, all with R code embedded. The second is to maintain a writing practice, documenting my thoughts on topics around macro-finance, policy, and heterodox economics.
How I made this
This blog was made using the blogdown R package, in a hugo static blog framework, hosted on github using netlify. This allowed me to get a basic blog template up and running with just a few commands:
install.packages("blogdown")
blogdown::install_hugo()
library(shiny)
new_site(dir = "~blog", tall_hugo = TRUE, format = "toml", sample = TRUE,
theme = "yihui/hugo-lithium", hostname = "github.com")
blogdown::new_post("First Post")
blogdown::new_post("Visualising UK Breathalyser Data")
blogdown::serve_site()
blogdown::hugo_build()
