Progress Update 1

What I have accomplished:

  • Created a Quarto website project with a blog listing page and site pages (Home, About, Blog, Visualizations).

  • Rendered the site to the docs/ folder for GitHub Pages deployment.

  • Set up a GitHub repository for the final project and pushed the full site structure to main.

  • Resolved GitHub large file rejection by removing the large dataset from version control and adding a .gitignore to prevent future large data commits.

  • Created a reproducible project structure with data/, data_clean/, and scripts/ folders.

  • Added an initial Visualizations page and prepared it for publishing the first chart.

  • Next steps: clean a small dataset using a script, publish the first visualization with brief interpretation, and share the GitHub repo with a colleague for peer review.
