-## Notable findings
-
-- Only the freeze directory is needed when hosting on netlify using the [plugin](https://github.com/quarto-dev/netlify-plugin-quarto)
-
-_NOTE: August 28, 2024. I believe we are not using the freeze directory in
-this repo and we're not using the netlify plugin. Delete this?_
-
-- Can use the "local only" ignoring files strategy. Each person adds `_freeze/` to the exclude file and only have one person who is reponsible for rendering and uploading to netlify
-
-
-
-- When adding a new post these are the files that are added and the ones that are modified, I *manually* modified README.md and _quarto.yml
-
-
-
-- Second time after initial setup these are the files that need to be added, my observation from this is that it's possible that only during initial setup merge conflicts are a problem due to `site_libs/` directory. I think `site_libs/` is modified only when someone sets up quarto. I can try git_ignoring that directory and see if it causes a build failure or not on netlify. Maybe when someone is setting up R and the libraries on their computer it downloads and modifies this directory.
-
-_NOTE: August 28, 2024. Should we delete the section above? The `site_libs` directory
-should not be in GitHub._
