Use relative links

[xeruf]

The links to the CSS & co, even on the homepage, start with / which means you can't easily have a look at the HTML locally by opening the files, you need to spin up a webserver.

I think I remember some issues with relative links and the validator (or similar) which caused me to switch from relative to absolute links.

I'm sorry, this won't change.

okay, I could partially fix this by removing the BASE_URL in the config :)

Is there some learning I should add to the README for others in your situation? Maybe you could provide a few lines explaining your approach? Thanks @xeruf

Sure!

If your site resides on the root of your domain, you can easily compile it in a domain-independent way by removing the BASE_URL prefix for the CSS and LOGO path, for example:

CSS_URL = '/public_voit.css'
BLOG_LOGO = '/images/public-voit_logo.svg'

Then you can use for example caddy to preview the blog locally by issuing sudo caddy file-server from the compilation directory (/tmp/lazyblorg/blog by default).

Thanks, I just linked it in the README.
