blogdown not found when deploying to Connect

I have created a website using blogdown and I'm now trying to deploy it from my local RStudio IDE to Connect.

I open the site's index.Rmd file, click the Publish button, select the Publish website with source code option, then Publish. The deployment starts and runs fine until I receive,

Error in loadNamespace(x) : there is no package called ‘blogdown’

So, it looks like Connect cannot find blogdown. In an effort to resolve this, I included install.packages("blogdown", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org") in my build.R file in the R directory of the website. This doesn't solve the issue, however.

Question: Can anyone advise me how to make blogdown available to Connect during build if it isn't using the R/build.R?

PS I tried building the site locally (rmarkdown::render_site(encoding = 'UTF-8')) and then selecting Publish finished website only instead of Publish website with source code. The website is published but looks completely wrong, as if the theme wasn't applied.
