Example blog doesn't work

[falzm]

The example blog provided in examples/ seems to be obsolete when ran with up-to-date Hugo version:

marc@cobalt:~/hugo/examples/blog$ hugo

The compilation error can be fixed with this change:

--- a/examples/blog/layouts/partials/header.html
+++ b/examples/blog/layouts/partials/header.html
@@ -7,6 +7,6 @@
     <link rel="canonical" href="{{ .Permalink }}">
     {{ partial "header.includes.html" . }}
     {{ with .OutputFormats.Get "RSS" -}}
-    {{ printf "<link href=%q rel=\"alternate\" type=%q title=%q />" .Permalink .MediaType .Title | safeHTML }}
+    {{ printf "<link href=%q rel=\"alternate\" type=%q title=%q />" .Permalink .MediaType $.Site.Title | safeHTML }}
     {{- end }}
 </head>

However even when fixing the compilation error, the rendered blog is broken (clicking on either Posts or Read More lead to a blank page):

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.62.2/extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate: unknown

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

Hi, just spent some time fixing up the blog, please take a look at PR #6772. It looks like it had not been updated for some time. I moved around a few of the pages, and that fixed the broken pages. After applying the fix posted by @falzm to the header partial.

Thanks!
