Part 1 of 4-part series: Build Your Personal Website With Quarto

Are you interested in sharing your work, such as scholarship, creative
work, and other projects, and increasing your online visibility? Creating a
personal website allows you to highlight yourself and your work, develop an
online presence that connects people to you and your work, and share your
thoughts in a blog or other pages. Having a personal website is a great way
for consultants or speakers to market their services and develop a
portfolio of past work; for researchers and scholars to share their
publications, including archiving for green open access; for public
intellectuals to write blog posts and direct readers to their other
writings; and for creatives to highlight their work in various formats and
media.

This four-part webinar series will provide a basic foundation to get a
personal website started and develop the skills to continue building and
maintaining your site. We'll rely on Quarto and GitHub Pages: Quarto makes
publishing websites simple while providing a lot of customizability for
users interested in going deeper, and GitHub Pages allows users to publish
their websites for free.

   -
