Please change the default baseURL about hugoplate HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, I can understand. but most of the cases they didn't do it, and create an issue about the site is broken. that's why I choose to use the baseURL as "/". and then I asked the user to use their own baseURL when deploying.

Hey @jmooring, thanks for your concern. If I change the baseURL to something like this, then all the users of this template are forced to change their baseURL to deploy their website. and I have got too many issues about the broken site because they did not change their baseURL. so I choose to use baseURL like this. at least it deploys their site properly.

Which is what they should be doing in the first place.

You can obviously do what you want, but this practice is not helpful to the Hugo community at large.

Hi, I think about the issue, and came up with a new idea. I have added an announcement to the demo, and it says user needs to change the baseURL, so no one missed the guideline.
