&lt;p&gt;I really like the low footprint and utility of Static Websites. This website is built using &lt;code&gt;Nikola&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this post I will talk about some issues I faced with deploying a second static website and how I eventually solved it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Github Pages&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have long enjoyed the awesomeness of &lt;code&gt;User Github Pages&lt;/code&gt; and am quite happy with it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However as soon as I tried to create a second independent static website with custom domain, &lt;code&gt;Github&lt;/code&gt; was having nothing of it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After spending lot of time scouring the web for how to make it work between &lt;code&gt;Github&lt;/code&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;code&gt;Namecheap&lt;/code&gt;, my DNS provider, I had nothing to show for it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Vannevar Bush, &lt;code&gt;As We May Think&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have you read Vannevar Bush's article &lt;code&gt;As We May Think&lt;/code&gt;? In that article he discusses an interesting concept:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"A System becoming an extension of human knowledge and memory which &lt;code&gt;may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility&lt;/code&gt;."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now this might not seem groundbreaking to us for we have Computers, Internet and Search Engines (Google, DDG, etc.). However it's important to know that Hypertext, which is the backbone of internet, was created thanks to the inspiration taken from &lt;em&gt;Memex&lt;/em&gt;, which is the name of the system Bush proposed. &lt;/p&gt;
