This is the first blog written by blogdown, and build and published by R studio.

What is the blogdown?

• It is an R package that can create websites using R Markdown and Hugo.

• R studio is an Integrated Development Environment with R. Now, it integrates R, git, hugo together, which is very convenient to build, enrich and maintain your website.

• On git/terminal/shell, we type hugo sverver --theme=hyde --buildDrafts to continuously serve our website locally, which makes us to live preview the website locally. Now we can do the same thing in R studio by using blogdown::serve_site(), or clicking on Addins–>Serve Site.

• One can click on Addins–>Update Metadata to update the website in R studio. Or on the terminal embedded in R studio, we can use hugo --theme=hyde --baseUrl="https://xliusufe.gitee.io/" --buildDrafts to update the website for the currently writting blog.

• One can refer to the blogdown for more details.
