I was able to at least host my website on github pages. It worked fine when I was using my [GitHub.io](http://GitHub.io) domain. When I added my custom domain though, the css and image resources could not be found. In my \_config.yml, I have baseurl: “” # the subpath of your site, e.g. /blog/ url: “[mycustomdomain.me](http://mycustomdomain.me)” # the base hostname & protocol for your site When working with just the [github.io](http://github.io) domain I had my [GitHub.io](http://GitHub.io) url as the url field. But now that I’m using a custom domain I thought I had to change it to that. With the current configurations, my source’s indexhtml contains tags like these: Which is what I want, since there resides a folder in my gh-pages branch that is css with the css inside of it. The image resources are the same format. Anyone have an idea why I'm not reaching my resources? I've also tried setting the basurl to my project name so it's customdomain.com/project/, do I need to keep the url as my github.io domain? I'm willing to redirect you to my repo or the repo I cloned from if that helps. EDIT: I think here lies the problem. [http://imgur.com/a/3biOT](http://imgur.com/a/3biOT) I have 2 branches, one for the source and one with all the configurations. The gh-pages branch (source) just gets the generated \_site folder. It says that it cannot load my js files which are in my other branch. Not sure how I need to fix this. ---

Do you know how to ensure the post order? I’ve named my post markdown files in the format “yyyy-mm-dd” and changed the date attribute inside of them to reflect it. The first one to show when I load the site doesn’t reflect what I expect though. ---

To enforce order between posts, you can use Front Matter. Here is an example screenshot how from one of the layout aggregator page (see the highlighted line for the hint): ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/jekyllrb/original/1X/e8c62a4a6814ef3994457ba499e1278b9125b910.png) … to be continued (_new users can upload only one image_) … ---

And here is an example screenshot how to enforce order between two (or more posts): ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/jekyllrb/original/1X/fb9fbfdff0666ba8a0bf621fec4ead11b5ec4b75.png) … to be continued … ---

This is Visual Studio Code ([https://code.visualstudio.com](https://code.visualstudio.com)). I switched to it from Atom because of better terminal support and in general it feels more solid than Atom. Hope you are going to like it! 🙂
