How to add your own logo to the Blogdown default theme

2018-04-09

One thing I’ve been meaning to fix on this site was changing the logo from the default for the theme. In case anyone else wishes to do it, here’s a simple way (but not the only).

1. Your image will need to be a .png file. Call it logo.png, which is what Hugo will be looking for.
2. Create an images folder in the directory <your website project>/static.
3. Place your new image, logo.png inside the new directory <your website project>/static/images.
4. Run blogdown::serve_site() to view the new logo!
