Not sure if this is just me being stupid, but there might be an issue with the default ` _config.yml`

I set up my github page at 3martini.github.com by forking jekyll-bootstrap. I set up the `_config.yml` with `BASE_PATH : ""`, which is what I understood to be correct for github pages.

I noticed that locally, the logo element linked to the page root, bringing be back to index.html, but once pushed to github, the logo would just cause the current page to reload. I traced this to the`HOME_PATH` variable in default.html page in the theme I was using, which is "the-minimum".

When I looked at the github source I noticed the logo's nested link was

`3martini`

While locally it was:

`3martini`

Am I just misunderstanding the instructions or is there something wrong here?

Modifying the config to use `BASE_PATH : "."` seems to have eliminated the problem, but I want to know if that is really a fix or just a hack.
