{{ site.baseurl }} text #3

@joewheaton and I noticed that for the picture links in the R-CAT site we have been able to add images (for example) ![analyzedstreams_web1](/assets/images/analyzedstreams_web1.png) instead of adding in the {{ site.baseurl }} previous to /assets/images/. This has been working great so far, is there any reason we would need to throw the {{ site.baseurl }} in front of /assets/images/ for all the pictures that we don't understand right now? @MattReimer @philipbaileynar Thanks for your help.

I think that it's because you are using DNS to point a URL at the site. Without the DNS, the site sits in a subfolder of the URL where the sub folder is the name of the repo.

So we have a repo called CHaMPAutomation and the home page of this GitHub site is:

https://riverscapes.github.io/CHaMPAutomation/

Without the {{ site.baseurl }} the links would just start at `https://riverscapes.github.io. The base URL includes the CHaMPAutomation folder.

Once you use a DNS though, the URL points right at the folder where the site lives and the subfolder is not visible.

@philipbaileynar Thanks for the explanation. I will keep that in mind for the future sites I am migrating.
