How I made the homepage here a feed of all posts in full text

After installing the hugo-bearblog theme, I overwrote the index.html file in the theme layout by creating a new index.html file in the layouts folder of my main Hugo site directory that contains the following code, which is adapted from single.html from the layouts/_default folder from the original theme repository.

{{ define "main" }}
{{ $posts := where .Site.RegularPages "Section" "blog" }}
{{ range $posts }}
{{ if eq .Type "blog" }}{{ if not .Params.menu }}
<h1><a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a></h1>
<p>
  <i>
    <time datetime='{{ .Date.Format "2006-01-02" }}'>
      {{ .Date.Format (default "02 Jan, 2006" .Site.Params.dateFormat) }}
    </time>
  </i>
</p>
{{ end }}{{ end }}
<content>
  {{ .Content }}
</content>
<p>
  {{ range (.GetTerms "tags") }}
  <a href="{{ .Permalink }}">#{{ .LinkTitle }}</a>
  {{ end }}
</p>
 <br>
 <hr class="solid">
 <br>
{{ end }}
{{ end }}

Some modifications on the CSS were also made to create the solid divider lines.

A side effect of this implementation is that all post images must be placed in the static folder¹, which may increase site loading time. To mitigate this, I may need to paginate this feed. Will update on this in a future post, if possible.

2025-10-15 update: I have done the pagination. See this update post for more info.
