Getting Going with Blogdown & Hugo

Why Blogdown? As I’ve noted before, my previous website was pretty basic. While it was largely simple to make updates, it wasn’t particularly elegant. It was functional, and definitely looked reasonable when it was first created. Editing it wasn’t too difficult, but took some forethought if I wanted to make updates across the website. I’m not at all trained in web development, and just I picked up a few things by working off a template a friend created for me, and toying around with some .

Time for a Website Makeover

Time for a Change I got my original website started in the beginning of grad school (circa 2007), with great help from a college friend. As this one, it was static, but relied directly on CSS and HTML, with no real page generator in the sense of Jekyll or Hugo. It’s been great for me - serving as a place to link other projects I’ve developed; for example, a QGIS tutorial I wrote for a workshop, and materials from a GIS/Spatial Analysis course I taught as a postdoc.
