Making of the website: A tribute

• The first mention should and always be the blogdown book, blogdown: Creating Websites with R Markdown
  Everyone who wants to make a website should start from here.

• After that, the person who should be thanked is Yihui Xie, the author of the book. The book as well as his blog serves as great resources. I don’t know how many times I had taken a peek at Yihui’s website while making this one. That blog is an inspiring one I must say.

• This website is based on a theme by Yihui, Hugo Ivy

• Leo’s website based also on Hugo Ivy, gave me some inspirations along the way.

• I also stumbled upon Will Chase’s Glamour of Graphics talk at rstudio::conf 2020. This is where I learned about Butterick’s Practical Typography, a very nice read on modern typography and stuff. The Concourse font by Matthew Butterick is a gem.

• Part of the design is taken from Live Free or Dichotomize.
  Although a lot of the elements are taken from it, it goes nowhere near its original class and style.

• Finally, I’m grateful to Rbind Support for the free domain.
  And also to Netlify for the free service.

I have dug a rather deep hole
