# blogdown

> **Uryu Shinya** (@u_ribo; 16/3): R Markdownで生成できる静的ブログシステム、radixとblogdownの比較。表
がとてもわかりやすい💯！radixはblogdownでの難しい部分を考える必要が少なくていいかなーと思う。テーマによる拡張は劣るけど😅タイトルにもある通り、Scientificなものはradixが良さげ。 https://t.co/2lo700uro7  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1075010034302500866)

> **Jeff Hollister** (@jhollist; 1/0): @MarloWordyBird @PixelMnM R is a programming language used by many in sciences and one of the tools available in R is a package (how you add functionality to R) called blogdown that helps create websites.

> **Mike Treglia** (@MikeTreglia; 0/0): @MarloWordyBird Ah, R is a programming language originally developed around statistics, but it's now employed in all sorts of data processing and visualization. Some tools allow you to produce outputs as PDFs and webpages. The blogdown package allows r coders to develop a full website  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1075001706340081664)

> **JD Long** (@CMastication; 3/0): @iamreddave @AllenDowney It’s dependent on the publisher as well as the content of the book. I like bookdown for R, but if I were doing a devops book for O’Reilly I’d write directly in asciidoc, for example. So I think context matters highly. Choosing a tool before understanding context is backward  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1075114023367204864)

R also has multidimensional arrays, but not as many functions to work with them.

If you are an #rstats #xaringan user (remark.js), this is *very* helpful for understanding when to use which size property with a background image! https://t.co/SLI2jMEPf7  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1075239136691277824)
