GitHub pages setup feedback

[jzohrab]

Hi there, thank you for the great theme.

I was setting up lanyon for my personal github site <username>.github.io, and had a few small issues with it that I thought weren't clearly outlined in the documentation here or in the poole repo. Let me know if you'd like me to open a PR to update some documentation for those who are trying to set this up as their github pages, and please suggest where I might put this change.

Summary to doc:

In my _config.yml, I had to make some changes:

url:                 https://<username>.github.io
baseurl:             /
 
# remote theme supported: https://docs.github.com/en/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll/adding-a-theme-to-your-github-pages-site-using-jekyll
remote_theme: poole/lanyon

I believe that both the url and baseurl are required:

• default.html has <script src='{{ site.baseurl }}/public/js/script.js'></script>
• head.html has <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ '/public/css/poole.css' | absolute_url }}">

Thank you very much! jz

I also encountered some strange behavior between project and user sites
