BYU-I Data Science Society: Some problems you might have when you create your blog

Lisa Lei

Problem 1. When creating a bog (or a website), the link doesn’t work; when you click “Build Site” button in R or try render_site() function, it doesn’t work and gives you error…

If you got this problem, you first need to push all the files you have done to github. In github setting, you might have set “branch master” to “/docs”, but you didn’t have a file named “docs” in your repository, so you need to have a docs folder. You just need to match the setting with the actual folder’s name.

Problem 2. When knit the post article, it shows this error:

I didn’t find exactly why R is giving this error, but how I solved this error is by deleting everything from the old blog (you can save the files some where, just to keep a record, in case you may need it or you don’t need to rewrite everything), then you recreate your blog by using create_blog() function.
