How to publish a post

1. Fork this repo to your account
2. Duplicate one of the Rmarkdown file of a blog post already written in /content/posts
3. Rename this new file
4. Open blog.Rproj in R and then open your new file
5. Edit your new blogpost (the Rmd file) as you want
6. Run blogdown::serve_site() to see it locally
7. Run blogdown::build_site()
8. Once you're satisfied, close R and R studio.
9. Important steps:

• Go to /docs/categories/r and open index.xml with a notepad. Search for all the /blog/blog/ strings and replace by https://easystats.github.io/blog/ if you see that the URLs is relative or just by /blog/ otherwise. blogdown::build_site() also changes older files (older blog posts), and create non-working URLs containing /blog/blog/ again - make sure these are fixed to the full website URL.
• Make sure all images in your post have absolute paths, and not relative URLs, for example: https://easystats.github.io/blog/posts/see_presentation_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-3-1.png.

10. Publish this new content on a new github branch named post-uniquepostname
11. Do a PR for this branch to be merged into master
