Site update

Now with quarto!

I finally got around to updating this out-of-date site with some new information in my About and Anthology. Even more, I nuked the whole thing and remade the website as a quarto-blog.

I’ve started using {quarto} for work reports and have been impressed with some of the functionality. While I’ve spend years with {knitr} (thanks Yihui Xie), {quarto} feels like a refreshing re-do and feels a little easier to use in some cases. One particularly good feature is the article layout, which feels particularly easy to use. There’s an example of this in the About page where a large graphic is nicely displayed without too much effort. This has been very help.

While {quarto} feels nice, it still feels a little fresh and it seems some functionality might be pending. I’ve already had to write a quick wrapper for an easier replacement to rmarkdown::render().
