This should work well enough.  I was changing the web pages locally, and
have a simple server to look at them.  But sometimes they look fine locally
but when they get deployed, something is missing, usually an incorrect path.

For now, I'll just continue with my current branch changing the site and
when it's merged, I'll update the config to deploy only on the master
branch.

Thanks for your help.
