Summary
Fix 23 broken
<link rel="canonical">URLs across all blog category index pages.Every category page had a missing slash between the domain and path in its canonical URL —
instructure.github.ioblog/categories/...instead ofinstructure.github.io/blog/categories/.... This causes search engines to treat the canonical as an invalid URL, potentially harming SEO indexing for these pages.blog/categories/*/index.html:instructure.github.ioblog→instructure.github.io/blog(23 files)Root cause: the Octopress
_config.ymlon thesourcebranch setsurl: http://instructure.github.iowithout a trailing slash, and the category page template concatenatesurl + "blog/..."without inserting a separator.No functional changes — canonical link tags only.
