Connect can host the final, rendered HTML of a blogdown site. (At this time it is not possible to publish the Rmd and have Connect render the site).
To do so, follow these steps (it is a narrow path to success that I've messed up a few times):
- Make sure you are in a RStudio project dedicated to the blog.
- Add
relativeURLS=trueto config.toml - Develop as normal using
blogdown::serve_site() - When you're ready to deploy, use the Build Pane's
Build Websitecommand.
- Click Publish from the built preview, and select "Publish finished website only"
