# blogdown

> **Jesse Maegan** (@kierisi; 9/0): I'm not faulting the organization that sent this, but rather @Medium - this is all the more reason to get things up and running with blogdown.

I have strong feelings about data science education, and one of them is that it should be free and accessible. https://t.co/JrS188PJ93  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/949057710707769344)

I have several ideas for posts about getting into /surviving in grad school, but I keep getting sidetracked thinking about blogdown/wordpress/etc.!

> **Frank Harrell** (@f2harrell; 0/0): @xieyihui @LeafyEricScott Thanks.  I gather from that post that disqus can import blogger comments (with a bit of lost formatting for replies).  Then I assume I could use the same disqus account to attach somehow to blogdown.  There's some controversy about disqus - need to know more.

> **Jake VanderPlas** (@jakevdp; 1/0): @doug_burke @InvaderXan @playingwithdust I also wrote my recent @OReillyMedia book in Jupyter notebooks: https://t.co/YOvGLm9dxu

I wouldn't say it's the best option for "formal" publishing—I'd prefer something closer to rmarkdown / bookdown—but Jupyter certainly worked well enough for me!  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/948943224390889473)

> **Aaron Swoboda** (@AaronSwoboda; 0/0): @friscojosh Thanks for all the great work you do and share @ https://t.co/dKvalokh92. Would you mind talking about your process/tools used to produce the first part of the book? Did you stick with bookdown? Find something better? Thanks!

# knitr

> **Benjamin Gowan** (@Benjaming_G; 2/0): @WireMonkey @kierisi @JennyBryan Also, depending on your output type, I am a big fan of kableExtra::collapse_rows(), can pipe knitr::kable tables right into it! #nifty #itsthesmallthings 😊  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/949063329238134785)
