content: Use ref instead of relref for internal links
Hugo 0.45 changed the behavior of ref and relref. The blog post, docs,
and error messages are all fairly confusing to be honest, but changing
the paths to simply include the document name seems to work, though it
appears there is a non-standard case when resolving a reference from a
post in another language. In that case the only ref syntax that worked
was the longer one that uses "path" and "lang".

Switching from relref to ref is probably unnecessary, but I wanted the
links to be absolute and never really noticed that they weren't.

The best way to describe the Sheikh Zayed mosque would be "the pearl of Aqaba." There is a lot to love about this picturesque mosque by the Jordanian seaside, but its crown jewelto continue the analogyis the impeccable Arabic calligraphy inlaid in its facade. Sadly, Aqaba itself [isn't much to write home about]({{< ref "aqaba-dirty-disappointing.md" >}}).

Originally built in 1975, the mosque was refurbished in 2010 as part of a larger [effort to revitalize the Red Sea port city](http://www.marsazayed.com/) and was modeled after the [Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque](http://www.szgmc.gov.ae/en/) in Abu Dhabi.
