This is the repository for my blog built using quarto and deployed using github pages. The site is live at https://clabornd.github.io/dmcblog/

I wanted to learn to use quarto, and making a blog seemed like a fun way to do that!

An overview of how to make a blog like this is described in quarto's docs

I deploy using github actions, which I've found to be pretty user friendly and cool! The actions I use specific to deploying quarto are being developed on the quarto-dev github. I use quarto-dev/quarto-actions/setup@v2 and quarto-dev/quarto-actions/publish@v2. The latter creates an orphan branch that contains only the contents of the built webpage (see the gh-pages branch). In the repo settings, I tell Github pages to serve the website from that branch.

Linkspector is used to check if the links in my posts are still valid, since I link to a ton of random websites, wandb output, colab notebooks, etc. They provide a nice github action to run the checks before building the site.

If you've somehow managed to make it here and actually read something I've posted, I'm flattered; and if you notice something factually incorrect or just generally wrong (which is ... possible), feel free to put in a pull request.
