#**Tools in our Toolkit**

Also known as packages & addins!
--
<section style="text-align:center;">
So, what **tools** do we need to make a professional website?
--
<section style="text-align:center;">
**blogdown**
--
<section style="text-align:center;">
**hugo**

```r
install.packages("blogdown")
blogdown::install_hugo(force = TRUE)
blogdown::new_site(theme = "gcushen/hugo-academic", theme_example = TRUE)
```

#Back to Basics

**Personalizing Hugo Academic Theme**

.pull-left[
Problem
- _Remove “hero” widget_ 
- _remove “demo” widget_
- _edit title_
- _edit theme_]

.pull-right[
Solution
- _content/home/hero.md file + active = false_
- _content/home/demo.md file + active= false_
- _config.toml to edit title_
- _config/_default/params.toml file to edit theme_]
