Alter preview to just show site root, when clicking open preview

I believe my comments in #86 also applies here.

Just to refresh memories, we talked about this last week in Austin.

We will show the user the site root and then allow them to navigate to the page that they desire. When we re-generate the site, we should simply refresh that page rather than replacing the HTML.

@LightGuard It's possible to get a URL for the generated site, correct? Right now we just get HTML and I place it into the document.

Actually if you just brows to /preview/repo it will show you the root of
the site right now.

Perfect!

I was wondering if the best approach here would be to continue opening the specific page, as we do now, but have a link in the footer "Preview home page" to allow them to navigate there in the preview? This would avoid the problem where they get trapped in the wrong place, but keep the nice ability to preview the most recent page without extra clicks.

With what we spoke about yesterday and the sections of a page, that's
doable now.

Closing this as it has now been implemented.
