Writing one

Make a folder under posts/ and put an index.qmd inside it with title, description, date, and categories in the front matter. It appears on the Notes page automatically. Remove the draft: true line when it is ready.

Maths renders natively:

Code displays without needing R or Python installed:

reghdfe fcs i.agmonth, absorb(hhid) vce(cluster ea)

To make a chunk actually run, change the fence to {r} or {python} and install the relevant engine. Because freeze: true is set for this folder, it runs once on your machine and the output is cached — GitHub never needs R installed to rebuild the site.

Removing the Notes section

Delete blog.qmd and the posts/ folder, then remove the Notes entry from the navbar in _quarto.yml. An empty or stale blog reads worse than no blog.
