My Quarto Blog

I do a lot of my work in Jupyter Notebooks. Notebooks can integrate code with descriptive text, images, or $\LaTeX$ equations. Notebooks can be easily converted to HTML, which makes them an excellent vehicle for blog posts. I used to use Fast.ai's fastpages notebook blogging platform, but Fast.ai deprecated fastpages after Quarto (the successor to the R-markdown format) emerged. Quarto makes it very convenient to publish notebooks via GitHub-Pages.

Previewing work locally

After installing quarto (you can install it into a conda env; that's what I've done) and creating a blog, you can preview the blog by:

1. (in a terminal with your quarto_env activated) Navigate to your blog's directory
2. Run quarto preview .
3. Go to the URL printed in your terminal's output.
