Hi Alex GitHub says : "We recommend using a custom subdomain instead of an apex > domain for your GitHub Pages site". [2] > > I am unfamiliar with both these, terms: I am confused! >
I think this is the problem. A custom subdomain is where you have <blah>. alsagerplacemakinginitiative.org/; the <blah> part is called the subdomain. An apex domain is where you have alsagerplacemakinginitiative.org, which no subdomain. The vagaries of DNS mean that these two situations are completely different. You're trying to set up an apex domain. You'll probably also want to set up a subdomain "www", so that http://www.alsagerplacemakinginitiative.org/ is an alias for http://alsagerplacemakinginitiative.org. This is exactly how tiddlywiki.com works.
