Note that while I have posts and presentations separately, and under the old setup those pages were somewhat different, with Quarto there is (currently) no separate styling for presentations, thus it is basically another collection of posts. For me, that meant folders and subfolders for posts, presentations and projects, and all other files (e.g. I structured the new website to be as similar to my old as possible. (While my about.qmd page is just a regular page.)
Either the Quarto documentation or these blog posts by Danielle Navarro and Albert Rapp worked well.įor the main page, I simply used the about page template that is built into Quarto. I started by creating a new Quarto website. I’ll describe a lot of steps only briefly, and make comments on some topics that might be not yet commonly known. For that, see the Quarto documentation or for instance this blog post. Some of the tips might also be useful for folks who plan to build a Quarto website from scratch. I’m hosting things on Netlify, but it should work for other hosting platforms too. This most directly targets folks who want to switch from blogdown/Hugo to Quarto. Here is a brief summary of what I did and some pointers to a few things I learned that might help others.
#HUGO ACADEMIC TALKS HIDE ICONS MANUAL#
Since I didn’t have 100s of pages to convert, I was ok doing some manual adjustments. I wanted the new website to be as close in content/functionality as the old website. I had a lot of help from others who already did this (I’ll provide links below). I therefore decided to tackle the website conversion project. But after a few online presentations, I was convinced that Quarto was the new way forward and would in the long run provide a much better experience. I first watched from the sidelines thinking that my current setup was ok and I didn’t need to change (yet). I started dreading making changes to the website. It wasn’t robust, it got rather complex and fiddly, etc. The results were nice, but both Hugo and Wowchemy kept changing all the time and stuff kept breaking. Also as many did, I used the Wowchemy (back then called Academic) theme. Like many folks who use R, RMarkdown and related products a lot, I was excited about the blogdown package and used it to build my website with Hugo.
