rake preview generating site without styles

I've set up a vanilla Octopress blog & I am hosting on github pages, but am encountering some issues when using rake preview.

To help troubleshoot, here's a short list of changes I've made since setting up Octopress (that I can recall):

  1. in _config.yml, changed the url to my domain
  2. in _config.yml, changed root to "/"
  3. in _config.yml, specified my github repo under 3rd party settings
  4. added CNAME pointing to my domain in /public/github
  5. added CNAMe pointing to my domain in /source/
  6. made a post using rake new_post

Here's a description of the issues:

  1. http://localhost:4000 yields a 404, however, I am able to see my site at http://localhost:4000/github/index.html
  2. When previewing /github/index.html, most of the stylesheets/JS are returning a 404.

Here's what happens when I run rake generate, followed by rake preview:

Dear developers making use of FSSM in your projects,
FSSM is essentially dead at this point. Further development will
be taking place in the new shared guard/listen project. Please
let us know if you need help transitioning! ^_^b

You need Python 2.x. You should be able to check your Python version at the command prompt with python --version

If you don't have it then if you are on Windows, download and install Python 2.7.6 from http://www.python.org/download/ then add C:\Python27 (or the folder where you installed Python) to your path environment variable.

Did you change the destination setting in _config.yml. Default should be something like this:

root: /
permalink: /blog/:year/:month/:day/:title/
source: source
destination: public
