Jekyll Posts Not found - yaml

Question

So I setup a Jekyll page, I created a few demo posts, got a navigation between them working and styled it to my liking and then went 'jekyll' in the root.
This generated a _site folder in my root. Awesome.
But when I open this folder in browser, and try to navigate between posts, it attempts to go to file:///2013/02/01/post-title.html instead of the actual location, which would be
file:///blablabla/_site/2013/02/01/post-title.html
I've been looking at Permalinks options in the yml-file, but I havent found a working solution yet.
I use:
<a href="{{page.previous.url}}" title="Previous Post: {{page.previous.title}}">
{{page.previous.title}}</a>
To navigate between posts, and:
{% for post in site.posts limit: 5 %}
{{ post.title }}
{% endfor %}
to link the posts from the main page.
From my config.yml:
baseurl: /
url: http://localhost:5000
source: .
destination: ./_site
permalink: /writing/
Taking any hints here!
Thanks

Answer 1

So what I did was:
In my _config.yml, I added this:
baseurl: /
url: http://some.link.he.re/~nameofdir/big_blog
And for assets like CSS/JS I simply used {{ site.url }} to pre-fix all my actual assets.:
<link href="{{ site.url }}/stylesheets/screen.css" media="screen, projection" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
For navigation I did:
<a href="**{{site.url}}**{{page.previous.url}}" title="Previous Post:
{{page.previous.title}}"> {{page.previous.title}}</a>
In my post.html layout, I added: in the , I am not sure if this is necessary though, but for now it will linger.
For all static pages I added:
<li>Journal</li>
And finally, even though it's the same thing all over, for linking posts:
{{ post.title }}
So {{ site.url }} is the same as what you write in _config.yml at url: xxxx,
And if you're hosting your page on a server that has odd directory structure (like my university for example), you need to give url: the value of the actual root catalog, that means include the blog-folder-name as the last folder in the url. Then just prefix all your links, static or jekyll-generated by {{ site.url }} and you should be cool!
