Fix index.html: replace Cocoa HTML Writer output with clean HTML5 page and add custom domain by Copilot · Pull Request #1 · LAF-US/loganfinney27.github.io

Copilot · 2026-04-11T00:16:21Z

index.html was auto-generated by macOS Cocoa HTML Writer, causing the page to render escaped HTML tags as literal visible text rather than a functioning webpage.

Changes

index.html: Replaced malformed Cocoa-generated markup (HTML 4.01 DOCTYPE, Cocoa meta tags, inline CSS, escaped tag content) with a minimal HTML5 page that correctly renders the intended "Hello World" content
README.md: Updated from placeholder text to a brief description of the repository
CNAME: Added custom domain configuration for thegemstone.org

Before: the page displayed raw text like <html>, <body>, <h1>Hello World</h1> as visible characters
After: standard rendered HTML with a heading and paragraph, served under the custom domain thegemstone.org

Domain management?

Copilot · 2026-04-11T00:21:15Z

Domain management?

To add a custom domain to your GitHub Pages site, you'd need two things:

A CNAME file in the root of this repo containing your domain name (e.g. www.example.com).
DNS configuration at your domain registrar — point a CNAME record to loganfinney27.github.io, or use GitHub's IP addresses for an apex domain.

Do you have a custom domain you'd like to use? If so, share the domain name and I can add the CNAME file for you.

thegemstone.org quartz fork

Added a CNAME file with thegemstone.org in commit 36aeabb.

For DNS, point your domain to GitHub Pages using one of these options:

CNAME record: thegemstone.org → loganfinney27.github.io (works for subdomains like www)
A records (for apex domain): point to GitHub's IPs: 185.199.108.153, 185.199.109.153, 185.199.110.153, 185.199.111.153

Once the PR is merged and DNS propagates, you can verify the custom domain in your repo's Settings → Pages.

This project deploys thegemstone.org site, right?

This project deploys thegemstone.org site, right?

Yes — once this PR is merged, GitHub Pages will serve the contents of this repository at thegemstone.org (provided the DNS records at your registrar are pointed to GitHub Pages). The CNAME file added in this PR is what tells GitHub Pages to use that custom domain.

index.html omits a <head> section with at least a charset declaration and a <title>. Without an explicit charset, the document relies on server/browser defaults, and without a title the page is less usable (tabs/bookmarks) and less accessible/SEO-friendly. Consider adding <head><meta charset="utf-8"><title>…</title></head> while keeping the body content minimal.

README title still uses the GitHub Pages default domain (loganfinney27.github.io), but this PR adds a custom domain via CNAME (thegemstone.org). Consider updating the README heading/description to reflect the canonical public URL to avoid confusion for readers.
