beautiful-jekyll

I love the beautiful-jekyll website made by Dean Attali https://github.com/daattali/beautiful-jekyll. However, most of the stuff I want to blog about are about R, and visualisations in R. Transforming from an Rmarkdown to a Markdown file to the website on github is a painfull process (for me at least!). This is why I will convert to blogdown (by Yihui). Yet I need to figure out how to get some of the beautiful-jekyll themed elements to the new blogdown website.

These are some useful websites: https://github.com/rstudio/blogdown https://github.com/ColinFay/jekyllthat https://www.r-bloggers.com/blogging-with-rmarkdown-knitr-and-jekyll/
