Two jekyll blogs on the same GitHub page

Question

I have a jekyll blog at https://github.com/alkamid/alkamid.github.io/ that is working fine under http://alkamid.com. I would like to add another blog that would be available at http://alkamid.com/travel.

Following these instructions I created a gh-pages branch and added baseurl: /travel to my _config.yml. I then pushed the branch to my github repo and expected to see the new blog at alkamid.com/travel, but all I get is a 404.

Does this setup make sense at all? If so, what should I do more to achieve the desired effect?

PS Someone asked the same question in a comment to another question, but the answer below it is not clear to me.

alkamid.github.io is a user repository, github pages looks for file to publish in master branch. Any additionnal gh-pages branch will be ignored.

To achieve your goal : just create a travel repository and simply push code for you second blog in gh-pages branch.

See github pages documentation about this particular problem.

Thanks. I totally misunderstood the docs about `gh-pages`. I thought we were only allowed one "GitHub Page" per account. – alkamid Aug 09 '15 at 21:24
What should I then do about CNAME? The blog works, but I get e-mails from github about "CNAME already taken: alkamid.com" – alkamid Aug 09 '15 at 21:48
CNAME only in alkamid.github.io all other repository will inherit. – David Jacquel Aug 10 '15 at 08:17
