[Neuroimaging] Website Update

[vanessa sochat]

Hi Ben,

Yes perfectly said! There are two issues:

1) the baseurl being "" vs. "/" to work on circle vs. locally. This could
be addressed with simply changing it programatically for circle testing.

2) the second problem is in the case of subpages. A url like /blog/pagename
needs to be smart enough to look at itself, realize it's one level down
from the base, and adjust paths appropriately. This is also important so we
can have our pages like "contribute" have urls like
nipy.github.io/contribute instead of nipy.github.io/contribute.html. The
first is achieved via having a folder called "contribute" with index.html
inside.

Best,

Vanessa
