Can't verify #159

Closed clarkt3 closed 9 years ago

clarkt3 commented 9 years ago

When I try to verify my gh page, it's not showing up

I type this into my browser: <clark-thomas>.github.io/<project1>

And there's a 404 error

Remove the angle brackets <>. The link should be clark-thomas.github.io/project1.

That said, the link still isn't working. I'ma inspect this.

clarkt3 commented 9 years ago

I tried that too. Still no luck...

It's working:

http://clark-thomas.github.io/project1/readme.md

You just can't see anything because Github looks for a file called index.html so show as the default file. If it can't find that, it doesn't know what to show, so it 404s.

The solution is to just create an index.html.
