> **Emma Vestesson** (@Gummifot; 2/0): @DavidPoe223 @drob I used blogdown and netlify and I initially had issues with the map being massive which stopped me from uploading it to Github. I simplified the shapefile using rgeos::gSimplify and that fixed my problem. I have updated the blogpost to show how I did it.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/948135654071898118)

> **Miguel Bento** (@theporra; 0/0): @Gummifot Whops, only just saw now you mentioned blogdown. Was there a reason you used that over others?  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/948306171861110796)

> **Eric Scott** (@LeafyEricScott; 0/0): @babelcarp Thanks! Honestly, I'm super surprised at the quality:effort   ratio of making the site using the blogdown package for @rstudio (which in turn uses Hugo).  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/948279983948075019)

# bookdown

> **fonzie** (@OilGains; 3/0): @sellorm @JennyBryan Concise and informative #rstats guide. Love it. Even better that is done with #bookdown.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/948049967192698880)

# knitr

> **Yihui Xie** (@xieyihui; 3/0): @bolkerb @Heinonmatti @BenListyg @CookieSci @rstudio @YhatHQ @HirokiSayama You no longer need to diagnose the runr problems -- just update.packages() to get knitr 1.18. The (python) problem has been beautifully solved.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/948207228032602114)

> **Frederik Aust** (@FrederikAust; 0/1): @psy_farrell I see. knitr 1.18 has greatly improved support of the Python engine: https://t.co/HIEj1aSVLS  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/948130116655288320)
