Introduction
Having your own website is like having a digital scientific ‘business card.’ Perhaps you do not know where to start, or perhaps you started but then got stuck? In this workshop, you will create your very own website using R Markdown and Distill. No previous programming skills are required; you will start with a template, and then, step-by-step, add to this website template to represent you, your science, your teaching, your outreach activities, etc. You will also learn how and where to host your website. This website is a simple example of how your own website in Distill could look like!
