Octopress blog page not displaying posts - blogs

I'm new to Octopress. I created a custom about-me like page as the home page (source/index.md) and moved the default source/index.html to /source/blog/index.html.
In my Rakefile, I changed blog_index_dir from source to source/blog.
In source/blog/index.html I changed the reference to /archives to /blog/archives.
In source/_includes/custom/navigation.html I changed the links to Blog and Archives to /blog and /blog/archives.
I haven't deployed my site yet because I'm still working on it, but when I view it using rake watch and Pow, my posts show up in the sidebar under Recent Posts, but no posts show up in the Blog page.
The source code for my site is at https://github.com/benlindsay/blog

I forgot to change the line in _config.yml from
paginate_path: "posts/:num"
to
paginate_path: "blog/posts/:num". That fixed the problem.

Nav bar not showing up on permalink Jekyll site

I've been toying around with a GH Pages Jekyll site. I took an HTML static site and changed the location for the stylesheet and the text/CSS.
Everything works correctly on my index.html page. However, on the other pages, the mobile/half-sized desktop navbar doesn't appear. The difference being I used a permalink to get navigate to those other pages (/categories/ instead of /categories.html).
I played around with the config file tried changing the
permalink: /:categories/:title/
to
permalink: /:categories/:title.html
Which gives the right filename, but it didn't address the navbar.
The only way I could fix the landing pages for the categories would be to change the links in the default.html. In this example the second item on the list works and the other doesn't.
<nav id="nav">
Doesn't work
Does work
</nav>
My goal is to have permalinks. So I can seamlessly navigate from the landing page to the categories and the blog posts.
This is my GitHub repository: https://github.com/Thor-DraperJr/Thor-DraperJr.github.io
Thanks for the advice!
It turns out that the css only was written to apply to www.baseurl.com/page
I changed the permalink in the _config.yml
permalink: /:title
This meant that each page and post would only show up one level past the root url.

Jekyll can't find 'home' layout

I have just started trying to use jekyll for github pages.
I wished to use the theme leap-day.
Following the instructions, It just came up with some can not find post / can not find page errors, I followed the instruction ongithub to create _layouts/page.html and _layouts/post.html
Now I am finding it is complaining it can't find home layout.
Jekyll theme leap-day has just one layout: default.html while most of the times the first Jekyll version uses minima who has three: default, page and post.
To properly use leap-day make all your pages/posts and home page use layout: default.

How can I get category page hyperlinks of my Jekyll website hosted on GitHub working?

For a Jeykll website hosted on GitHub I created a custom solution (no Jeykll plugin) to display all post links of a category on a page *. I use the setup of GitHub pages for local Jekyll builds and build with bundle exec jekyll serve locally. If visit http://127.0.0.1:4000 and push one of the hyper-link buttons Embedded, Hardware or Software in the left side-bar below Pattern Categories the post links are shown like expected.
However if I visit the website hosted on GitHub I get an "404 File not found" error. From the past I can remember that this could relate to a different handling of Jekylls permalinks in local and GitHub Pages builds. But I cannot remember in detail.
It would be great if someone could help me out.
* Sitenote: Right now instead of listing only the post links for a single category the post links of all categories are listed section wise. But that does not matter w.r.t. to this question.
The problem is that the website isn't located at the root level, so you need to use in _config.yml the base url:
baseurl: /design-pattern-references
Then make use of that setting generating full paths, e.g.: in _layouts/index.html
{{ post.title }}

jekyll won't render on github-pages of project site

I want to set up 2 different jekyll sites:
https://github.com/Caruso33/caruso33.github.io for my front page to the redirected domain leinss.eu and
https://github.com/Caruso33/traveltobi.de for blog related stuff, to the subdomain blog.leinss.eu (traveltobi.de also points to that).
The user page is rendered all fine, but the project site (traveltobi.de) doesn't work. I set the gh-pages settings to the master/docs branch and put all jekyll related files in this folder github.com/Caruso33/traveltobi.de/docs. However, I only can see the basic HTML page.
Is there a wrong setup in the _config.yml?
CNAME is showed as it should.
I don't know what configuration to change properly.
