Good ideas đ
Alison Hill / 2019-06-13
Here is a collection of âgood ideasâ, brought on by a Q&A session after we finished our fourth day of âSummer of blogdown
â. A mix of advice regarding professional development, good practices, and finding your voice đŁ.
License
Add a site LICENSE.md
and use CC-BY for the license, and
- Here is Gregâs license
- Alison (using the Hugo academic theme) changed
privacy.md
tolicense.md
, so you can view my site license here.
Citation
Add a site CITATION.md
in your project root directory- make sure you include plain text, BibTeX, and your ORCID in CITATION.md
, and every librarian on the planet will be your new best friend. â Greg Wilson
- In your academic-themed site, an ORCID logo/link is one of the social icons available to you âout of the boxâ with the academicons pack (see commit here on Kellyâs site):
- icon: orcid
icon_pack: ai
link: https://orcid.org
Commit histories
At this point, you may be worried about other people viewing your commit history. I wouldnât worry about this too much, but here are some good resources that can help alleviate your anxiety and perhaps help you learn more about using Git/GitHub:

Bling up your Github!
First, add your siteâs URL to the top of your repo:
Add a
README.md
to your repo with a Netlify deployment badge . From Netlify: " All you have to do is copy it from your siteâs settings. The badge automatically updates to reflect the current state of your latest production deployment on Netlify. Clicking it takes you to the siteâs deploy list if youâre authenticated, and to the login page otherwise."Add your URL to your GitHub profile: https://github.com/settings/profile.
Add your
blogdown
project repository to your pinned repos on GitHub: https://help.github.com/en/articles/pinning-items-to-your-profile.
