In order for the 404 to be picked up by jekyll/github pages, it has to be in a 404.html file on the root. However, if the file is named exactly '404.html', it won't be processed by jekyll. Rather, you have to provide a 404.md file, and specify its permalink to be 404.html, which fixes the issue. Working version at http://www.cazzulino.com/wrong-url.html.

| Sorry, we've misplaced that URL or it's pointing to something that doesn't exist. [Head back home]({{ site.url }}) to try finding it again. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Did you change from site.baseurl to site.url intentionally?

This also adds more markdown and removes HTML, therefore improving readability. I like it. |

`site.baseurl` will be "https://*.github.io/404", thus must change to `site.url`.
