Currently there is a bug that only manifests in production builds, i.e.
with zola build. The Home link always points to the currently viewed
page, i.e. not necessarily home. The URL in href attribute is empty.
Bizarrely when serving the website with zola serve it's fine.
I intend to use Tad Better Behavior to make sure it won't happen again.
