I notice that if I put in the baseurl (/projectname) in the config file, my site doesn't pull in my styles. Suggestions?

I'm following the lesson along with my own blog. One thing I'm noticing is that if I leave the baseurl as /nefpress in the config file and then go to my site (nef.press), the the styles go away.

However, when I change the baseurl to "http://nef.press" to match my url in the config file, it works fine.

Are there any potential issues I will encounter if my baseurl and url are the same?

Thanks!

Change the url from "/nefpress/css/bootstrap.min.css" to "css/bootstrap.min.css" and it works fine !

I'm troubleshooting gh-pages custom domain. I've added my CNAME file in the root, and added both A records with my DNS. Everything is routing, but my site isn't showing up... just the blank Index of / page. Would any of the configurations be different if the original url for my project page was username.com/repositoryname?

Everything looks great and works perfectly in Jekyll project pages, but when I go to custom url, I have no styles and my blog paths are all broken. What's the fix?
