- R and Rstudio (be sure to install and load the "knitr"" package)
- Create a github account and download github desktop
Access to my whole project can be found on my github.
It includes this readme file, which I turned into a website you see here, but it also logs research activities on my online notebook.
- To embed a link, all you need is the URL, implemented in the following way:
[hyperlinked words](URL)
- To embed an image, you'll need a URL of the image, implemented similarly as above:

To get a URL in (R)markdown:
* go to your github repository and click "Issues"
* Click "New"
* Include a title (Pictures); click and drag any image you'd like into the comment section
* Click "Submit New Issue"
* You will see the image, right click it and copy the URL.
- To include a table, it is best if you format it first as a csv(comma separated values). (Note, if on a mac, make sure the file type is unicode and unix). With the knitr package, you can generate tables easily from the csv. Here is an example:
Grab a dataset real fast
#packages for reading in data
library(data.table)
#grab dataset online
dat<-fread("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adnguyen/HelmsCahan_CBP-partA_2016/master/Script_Analyses/Sampling_sites_table.csv")
