Material page redesign about econ-ark.org

[DrDrij]

@llorracc I will work through your list of feedback.

Today I have attacked:

• launch URL, materials can now launch notebooks directly by using #launch at the end of a URL (eg. https://econ-ark.org/materials/alternative-combos-of-parameter-values/#launch)
• Unifying all the material pages with a "Options for Executing This Notebook" below the description (eg. https://econ-ark.org/materials/bufferstocktheory)

Interested to know your thoughts. Perhaps the details about executing the notebook could be in a modal popup window?

@MridulS Could you please explain the automatic testing?

@llorracc I've spent some time styling the buttons and adding a help popup. The main button is now "Live Interactive Version".
Next task is to tidy the naming of each material so that they correspond exactly to the pre-extension filename.
Once the filenames are inline I shall look into various dates for materials and potential auto generating data.

@llorracc @DrDrij regarding the portfolio choice blog post link, it doesn't exist right now as it looks like I forgot to update the link in the econ-ark.org repo when we moved PortfolioChoiceBlogPost as an individual repository under the econ-ark organisation. The blog post is available at https://econ-ark.github.io/PortfolioChoiceBlogPost/PortfolioChoiceBlogPost.html

@DrDrij This also means we need a new category in materials section for blogposts (is_blog) as it needs to link to the html page.

@DrDrij regarding testing, maybe its possible to catch certain URL created during build time by Jekyll (not too sure about this, I'll need to have a look) and then auto test them for 404 links after a certain time period (maybe once a day) as it will take some time to propagate changes from GitHub pages.

Great, thanks for the update!

In response to your request for feedback above -- I like what you've done with the "options for launching this notebook" but feel that it should somehow be more prominent -- even after I knew it was there somewhere, it took me a little while to relocate it.
