I have 2 demo sites my blog and this starter demo. Both work great local.

Running with the same code, my blog still needs a trailing / on links to work (on gh_pages.) On the starter demo, it adds them. The only real difference I can tell is that on my blog I put everything directly in pages/articles/(pages/articles/article.md not pages/articles/article/index.md) and there is a config.linkPrefix of "", but the starter demo has them all in the root with a config.linkPrefix of "/gatsby-starter-drunkenblog".

I think maybe I need to check for a trailing-slash in prefixLink in gatsby-helpers.

So the problem is page.path doesn't have a trailing slash at times? https://github.com/konsumer/gatsby-starter-drunkenblog/blob/master/pages/index.js#L38

Ah dood! I just need to edit the front-matter paths! thanks.

Well... this is actually pretty weird. The page.path should always have a trailing slash. We should investigate why not. This isn't something a site should need to check for.

Yeh, that makes sense. I understand that articles/article_name/ doesn't exactly map to articles/article_name.md as well as articles/article_name/index.md, but maybe it should be handled at a higher level than the path-fixer (like in the router) so it will work intuitively, out-of-the-box.

For just fixing the path front-matter on my blog, here is the script I threw together.
