I see on your website https://www.arresteddevops.com/missing-page it shows a themed webpage (strangely it only says "Not Found" when in responsive small width. but in desktop width it doesn't)... but for our website it's a bug, because we don't get a themed not found page (We see a github pages 404)... https://khabardaarpodcast.com/missing-page. Much appreciated

Arrested DevOps isn’t using castanet yet :)

I could be wrong but I also vaguely remember something weird with hugo in general with regard to 404 pages on github pages (I host all my hugo stuff on netlify) but either way, we need a themed 404 (the template now is blank).

@rajeshduggal - for my knowledge, are you pulling the theme in as a submodule off of master? Just want to make sure I don't break things out from underneath you while I'm making updates :)

@mattstratton Yes I am pulling in the theme as a submodule. Which means that my website's git repo is tied to a particular sha of the castanet theme.. i.e. I don't get the newer castanet commits unless I explicitly choose to have them in my website. So I've been reviewing the castanet commits before tying my repo to the latest castanet sha. So all good, thanks for checking in with me !
