Introduction Web mapping is an application of geographic information systems (GIS) that involves the creation of interactive digital maps displayed and manipulated through a web browser.

Preliminaries At some time or another, most users of statistics find themselves sitting in front of a large pile of computer output with the realization that it tells them nothing that they really want to know.

Readers of this website (if any) may have noticed that I recently implemented Disqus comments. This is very easy to do in a Hugo-generated website. Sign up for a free Disqus account, put your Disqus shortname (basically your account ID) into your Hugo configuration file, and Hugo takes care of generating all the necessary code when it creates your static website. Disqus sends you email notifications whenever somebody writes a comment, and you can moderate comments, write replies, delete comments, mark comments as spam, and yada yada yada.

I have worked for days trying to get this website up and running on GitHub Pages. I think I finally have gotten it to work.
This is that story.
I have studied the following sources of punditage:
Making a Website Using Blogdown, Hugo, and GitHub pages Update: Deploying Hugo-generated websites on personal GitHub Pages How to make a GitHub pages blog with RStudio and Hugo Including image using blogdown Building a Blog with Blogdown and GitHub The Hugo documentation Create Blogs and Websites with R Markdown Hosting on GitHub Pages Build_Site and Serve_Site Output Issues Create a Free Personal Academic Website with Hugo All of the articles and discussions were enlightening, and helped me arrive at what I believe to be the simplest way to deploy a Hugo-generated website on GitHub Pages, at least for me.

To see how we just did that, read on.
Because psychological research tells us that including estimated reading times can increase reader engagement with digital content, I decided to include reading times for my riveting posts.
So I wrote a simple R script. Here it is, as an R code chunk:
```{r echo=FALSE} bytes The script is very simple, such that even I could program it.

I am a huge fan of R and RStudio, especially relative to their use in creating reproducible research (see RStudio as a Research and Writing Platform). I was thus thrilled to learn that a new R package, blogdown, was being developed for producing websites from R Markdown files using RStudio and the static website generator, Hugo.
This website was built and is maintained using blogdown and Hugo running inside of RStudio, and is hosted on GitHub Pages.
