I LOVE the IDEA of GitHub pages -- keep the hosting with the source. Simplifies workflows and sync issues. But I find their SSL certs maddenning. They go from working to non working back to working and it is never clear what changed or what the problem is.

I also recently discovered that all our corporate machines show: "MismatchCert (Hostname mismatch) Blocked by SSL_HOST_MISMATCH" on the Github provided certificate. I can only wonder how many people have seen this and didnt visit my site because of it...

Does anyone have a recommended site/guide to setting up simple static sites without technical heroics? In the meantime, WordPress is a saviour.
