Say I have a folder called `blobs` in the `content` folder (which I think is called Section in Hugo terms), and I have a corresponding `<theme>/layouts/blobs` folder. For the path `http://localhost:1313/blobs`, I like to get a page with list of posts under `blobs`.

Currently, I have these and I am not able to get it to work:

- An `_index.md` file under `content/blobs`
- Under `<theme>/layouts/blobs`, I have `index.html`, and also `single.html` (which I think is not relevant to render the list of posts).

If I read the docs right, the `_index.md` of a section is matched with the `index.html` of the section (or the default). The index.html may use `{{ .Content }}` to render the content of `_index.md`. Am not able to get this to work.

What am I missing?

Change the `index.html` in `layouts/blobs` to `list.html`. `index.html` is for homepage and lives in the root of the `layouts` folder or inside the `_defaults` folder.

Now that I try it in the morning, it seems obvious. Should never work late in the night 😂. Thanks @Arif
