Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 25,399 PointsIs it possible to host a site with multiple pages on GitHub Pages?
Index.html works fine but my other pages throw a 404 error even though they seem to be linked correctly. Plus, the links work on my local server.

As Gabriel mentioned, you should have no problem having a multi-page site on GitHub pages. I host a variety of sites on GitHub, including a Jekyll blog.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 25,399 PointsYep, you're right! I got to work. Thank you. I know this is off topic but do you know if any good Jekyll tutorials? Treehouse took down the Jekyll basics course because it was outdated and I'm having trouble finding a decent one out there in the non treehouse world. Thanks again!

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 25,399 PointsThanks. You were right. I was linking to my pages using certain kind of absolute link. So, for the about page my href value was "/about/". The first forward slash tells Chrome Web Server on my local machine to go to the root and then look for the about page. Apparently GiHub pages works differently. All i had to do was change the href value to "about/" and it worked fine. Thanks again!
