Stan blog post Correlation Cats

Publicity
1

Part I of my post “Correlation Cats” is up.

A few points if anyone else tries to use rmarkdown to post.

  • Latex math won’t work on the stan blog.
  • I used knit2wp and works only ok. Lots of clean up after.
    * Related: I can’t update the code blocks to get syntax highlighting for R.
  • I chose to just take screenshots of a bunch of things as it looked better.

Here’s the R code to post directly from R to the site

if (!require('knitr')) {
  install.packages("knitr")
}
if (!require('devtools')) {
  install.packages("devtools")
}
if (!require('RWordPress')) {
  devtools::install_github(c("duncantl/XMLRPC", "duncantl/RWordPress"))
}

#activate the necessary libraries
library(flexdashboard)
library(RWordPress)
library(knitr)
library(XMLRPC)
library(reshape2)
library(RCurl)

options(WordpressLogin = c(your_user_name = 'your_password'),
        WordpressURL='https://blog.mc-stan.org/xmlrpc.php')

knit2wp(input='post.Rmd', title = 'your_blog_post_title', post=FALSE, action = "newPost")

Apparently you can include latex by

$latex latexify_this$

thanks @syclik for pointing that out
