Frontmatter check

Prompt:

Fix one of the problems in one of our community packages at https://github.com/Stat585-at-ISU/lab-3-all-all-for-one-and-one-for-all, and write about it.

Instructions:

What we want to know is the exact warning or error message of the item you fixed, and a description of what you did, also as specific as possible.

Describe your experience below. Push this blog post to your blog-9 repo. Make sure the front matter check passes.

Which error or warning did you fix? … and how?

I fixed a note in Team 2’s package. The note was

checking top-level files ... NOTE
  Non-standard file/directory found at top level:
    ‘presslog_amespd_2023-03-07.pdf’

I looked up the note on Google and found a Stack Overflow post describing a similar issue. I then resolved the note by adding ^presslog_amespd_2023-03-07\.pdf$ to the .Rbuildignore file.
