I haven’t successfully published a post in a while but I finally fixed my web-log and pushed out some old posts today. I had several issues (putting notes here so I can fix again later):
- A recent issue, but R Studio was not working on my main computer (Fedora with XFCE).
I often use Emacs+ESS, but for things like the
blogdown, it is just easier to use R Studio and its add-ins. Apparently it is now best practice to install from the fedora repositories and rundnf install rstudio-desktop. I had, in the past, installed directly from the R Studio provided rpm. - I basically had to restart the web-log – download the repositories and start working again from there.
Usually this is fine, but I’m doing this an awkward way which isn’t recommended anymore: building locally,
then having
public/as a submodule which mygzt.github.iopage points at. Here are, I think, the steps I used to fix this. First, clone the blog site. Second, remove thepublicdirectory. Third, rungit submodule update --recursive --remote. Fourth, change to thepublicdirectory, verify it has what you want (say, rungit remote -vandgit status), and do something likegit checkout master(this is so old I still called the main branchmasterand haven’t gotten around to changing it). Then you should be ready to rock and/or roll. - My about page and such are horribly out of date! I have to change some things before I updated anything.
What finally got me to fix #2? My time with Indiana University as a visiting assistant professor is ending and I am open to new opportunities now, which means I should probably have a more up-to-date web presence.
