For future website update.
This post is to record how to update and deploy this website through Netlify. I wish I could use git version control throughout, but authentication failure was not possible to resolve. Perhaps I should just give up using RStudio and blogdown or screw Mac remote work settings? (I still haven’t figured out what exactly caused this problem 😟 Quarto with quarto publish didn’t work either)
Anyway, I am now settled with the below procedure:
1. Update contents still in RStudio with blogdown package ✍️
Saved as an R project titled wpl-yonsei. For a new blog post, add a new markdown file (like this one). The file goes in content/posts (with _index.md). To update contents in pages, revise relevant markdown files in content/pages.
2. Go ahead “Build Website” button 📁
There is public folder being updated with new contents.
3. Go to Netlify account and navigate to Deploys tab 🔐
Don’t forget to sign in properly.
4. Drag and drop the up-to-date public folder ✨
Deploys pane says “Need to update your site?”
… how kind 🙂
