Answer 1

I found a fix via this page Basically it involves a bit of a hack to figure out if you are on the nth page of the blog and then includes a file that pulls in you blog section.

Create a file in _includes/custom/ called pagination. In that have your pagination code

<!-- This loops through the paginated posts -->
{% for post in paginator.posts %}
  <h1><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></h1>
  <p class="author">
    <span class="date">{{ post.date }}</span>
  </p>
  <div class="content">
    {{ post.content }}
  </div>
{% endfor %}

<!-- Pagination links -->
<div class="pagination">
  {% if paginator.previous_page %}
    <a href="/page{{ paginator.previous_page }}" class="previous">Previous</a>
  {% else %}
    <span class="previous">Previous</span>
  {% endif %}
  <span class="page_number ">Page: {{ paginator.page }} of {{ paginator.total_pages     }}</span>
  {% if paginator.next_page %}
    <a href="/page{{ paginator.next_page }}" class="next">Next</a>
  {% else %}
    <span class="next ">Next</span>
  {% endif %}
</div>

Now in your _layout/index.html add

{% if paginator.page != 1 %}
{% include custom/pagination %}
{% else %}
The original content of index
{% endif %}

Answer 2

Use the destination key in your _config.yml file to set the base path where you want the output to be published to. For example,

paginate: 5
destination: _site/blog

Note that assuming your site is setup to server its root (e.g. "http://example.com/") from "_site" jekyll won't produce and "index.html" page at that location. Everything that jekyll builds will be under the "blog" directory, but that sounds like what you are after.
