I've been meaning to start a blog for a long time and this coupled with the recent Quarto integration into RStudio was what I needed to finally make the leap! Muito obrigado Beatriz :-)

This post helped me a lot building my blog! Thank you very much it was really helpful.

Excellent post, thank you very much. The only thing I am not clear about, is how you got your existing Hugo Portuguese posts into the new Quarto blog? Did you have to change them to Quarto documents and re-render? I could not get all of my past posts to run without a very time consuming effort.

Hi, luceydav!

I have just migrated my blog to quarto as well, and for me just a simple ctrl+c ctrl+v of Rmd posts to Quarto (.qmd) worked fine!

I had only one small problem with an html embedding, but apart from it, the Rmd stuff worked well in Quarto :)

Great post, thank you for that!!!

Hello!

Thanks a lot for this very helpful post!

My I ask a question regarding a problem that you seem to have solved? If not - just give me a notice, I will retract the comment!

I am currently setting a website using quarto. However, I am struggling to get the domain names correct.

The website is hosted at Netlify, reachable under let's call it "https://example.netlify.app/".

A friend is contributing a domain (let's call it https://example.net).

I have added the following to `_quarto.yml':

website:
  title: "My Site"
  site-url: "https://example.net"

Redirection works, but the browser immediately shows https://example.netlify.app/ as the address. However, I want to hide the netlify part from the user.

My question:

• Does anyone know, on which level I can solve this problem? Do I have to provide the Quarto source code with additional information? Do I have to configure Netlify differently? Do I have to reconfigure the redirect from the DNS hoster?

Thanks a lot for any input!

Best greetings,
Sebastian

Hey Bea! Fantastic post. I actually came across this post while trying to set up a comments section for the blog posts on my website. There's two points that I think are relevant here:

• While you need a public repository for Giscus to link to so that other people can see and add comments, this does not actually need to be the repo for your website. I created a new empty public repository and linked that to Giscus, both in the Giscus app and in my YAML files, while leaving my website repo private. This blog post was really helpful.

• If you want to only have your blog posts commentable, in your posts folder, where your blog posts go, you can add a _metadata.yml file within that folder, and add the following:

comments:
  giscus:
    repo: githubusername/public_repo
    category: Announcements
    mapping: pathname
    theme: light
    language: en

This should enable comments only on your blog posts instead of the entire website, making it so you don't have to manually disable comments on every single page.

Also I'm going to shamelessly shill my own blog here
