.Page.Hugo is deprecated console warning

After many months of not having time to look at it, I’m trying to resurrect my blog, publish a few new posts, and in general whip it back into shape. However, on running hugo locally I get the error “Page.Hugo is deprecated…” Well, yes, I know that, so I’ve got rid of pages in my blog. I’m using the blackburn theme, and creating the blog in Emacs org mode using Kaushal Modi’s magical ox-hugo package for exporting to markdown.

This should all be fine, but now I’m still getting that Page warning (as well as one about no layout rule for HTML “Section” but I can fix that… I think) and another warning about Page.RSS being deprecated.

What is more annoying - and I have no idea if it is in any way related to those warnings - is that my last blog post is not being sent to the blog for viewing, and I’ve got no idea how to troubleshoot this.

So I guess I have these questions:

  1. How do I scupper Page warnings once and for all?
  2. What is the alternative? I used to like having a few places on the blog separate from the main posts where I could put information about the blog, and even a few image libraries. Pages were great for this. The hugo output “Use the global hugo function” is not useful in itself but then I admit I have yet to RTFM as carefully as I should.
  3. How do I troubleshoot the non-appearance of a newly written post? It’s simply not appearing in the blog, and there are no obvious errors either from ox-hugo or hugo itself.

Thank y’all!
