> **Metis** (@thisismetis; 7/2): Which blog platform does @drob suggest you use? If you're technical, check out blogdown (especially if you work in R). But the default for most people (and a great option!), espeically when starting a blog, is Medium. #DemystifyDS  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1021771062541991936)

For the larger ones, Netlify is a great option.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1021850361391284224)

And yea, don't worry about the things you need to learn. Every time I look into that website I learn something new or notice something different, that's just how stuff works :D  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1021774517335670785)
