Hi guys,  
I started a theme developing for Hugo.  
May be it’s a trivial mistake not related to Hugo itself but I have a problem on rendering pages.

The homepage it’s rendereded correcly but single post don’t load \*.css.  
I suppose it’s a problem of priority order of lookup rendering roles but I’m not able to solve.

Can you look on my code?  
[Arberia Theme](https://github.com/antedoro/Arberia.git)

May be it’s simple solution.

Thanks  
Vincenzo Antedoro

Thanks jmooring.  
This mistake was solved introducind _absURL_ path, like this:

`<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ "css/realpython.css" | absURL }}">`

Question: It’s better  
`absURL`  
or  
`relURL`?

This is largely a matter of opinion and context. Historically, some RSS readers have not behaved well with relative URLs, but I don’t know if that’s still true. Some argue that absolute URLs are an important aspect of search engine optimization, but I think that was de-bunked by Google several years ago.
