blogdown - how do I specify which page a post will appear on

baseurl = "/"
relativeurls = false
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "A Hugo website"
theme = "hugo-lithium"
googleAnalytics = ""
disqusShortname = ""
ignoreFiles = ["\\.Rmd$", "\\.Rmarkdown", "_files$", "_cache$"]

[permalinks]
    post = "/:year/:month/:day/:slug/"

[[menu.main]]
    name = "Home"
    url = "/"
    weight = 1
[[menu.main]]
    name = "About"
    url = "/about/"
    weight = 2
[[menu.main]]
    name = "Blog"
    url = "/blog/"
    weight = 3

[params]
    description = "A website built through Hugo and blogdown."

    highlightjsVersion = "9.12.0"
    highlightjsCDN = "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs"
    highlightjsLang = ["r", "yaml"]
    highlightjsTheme = "github"

    MathJaxCDN = "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs"
    MathJaxVersion = "2.7.5"

[params.logo]
    url = "logo.png"
    width = 50
    height = 50
    alt = "Logo"

I'm using a slightly modified blogdown default config.toml with the hugo-lithium theme. Shown above. How do I make my 'Home' and 'About' pages static? And shift all my posts onto my 'Blog' page? I can't find anything in the blogdown book explaining this.

I did discover this SO answer that explains how to change the directory where the files are stored. This isn't what I want (I think). I want to know how to actually specify the page where post's will go.

In hugo, the layout of the website mirrors the layout of the files in the content directory. So, if you have a blog post in content/blog/my-cool-post.md, it will show up as https://example.com/blog/my-cool-post.html

See hugo docs for a bit more.

So for your about file, just place it directly in content as content/about.md
