A sample website based on blogdown and Hexo. It is briefly documented at https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/hexo.html.
The site was created via hexo init blogdown-hexo. I added .Rprofile, R/build.R, R/build_one.R, and a sample post source/_posts//2015-07-23-r-rmarkdown.Rmd. The site is built and deployed automatically via Netlify. Below are the settings on Netlify:
To build and preview the site locally, you need to install blogdown:
devtools::install_github("rstudio/blogdown")
blogdown::serve_site()
