Research direction

Start with the Hugo theme and the generated feed at https://sqlitebrowser.org/index.xml. Inspect how blog URLs are rendered in the RSS output and verify the generated links use the site's full HTTPS URL rather than relative paths. Done means the feed contains absolute links for its entries.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We've received a report through Twitter that our blog's RSS feed has incorrect links in it:

https://twitter.com/goozak/status/1197540838487801858

The links are relative URL's (eg /foo/bar.html), instead of full URLs (eg https://ourserver/foo/bar.html).

It's probably just something in our Hugo theme that will need adjusting, so the https and server name are included.
