Becoming an R blogger

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Blogging accelerates learning and teaching by forcing clear explanations, and it pays off: use RStudio + blogdown to generate a public/ folder, push to GitHub and let Netlify auto-deploy update the site on every commit. Prefer inline data URLs so readers run code without downloads, choose googlable titles (the carrot tutorial ranks #2 for that query), and promote posts with one targeted tweet; the workflow is simple, reproducible, and actually draws readers.
