The Statistical Scribbles blog

A graphical and code-based walk through statistical concepts that I am currently teaching.

How was it set-up?

The blog is served as a page from my main website at openpencil.github.io. To make Github recognize the contents of the statistical_scribbles repository as a page on the main website, the repository should have only the gh-pages branch and no master branch.

• Create the gh-pages branch git checkout -b gh-pages git push origin gh-pages
• In the Github GUI, switch the "Default Branch" under repository settings to gh-pages.
• Switch to gh-pages branch, and delete the local master branch git branch -d master
• Delete the remote master branch with: git push origin :master

If there are no errors, the contents of the repository (a jekyll blog) will be served as a page from the main website.

TODO

• Document specific Jekyll settings
• Figure out how to eliminate fluff from design
• Make the initial posts
