I think, the solution may be to fork first and then rename the 
respository to username.github.io.
(as you suggested...) I will try this later.

I have put the logo into the header. Is someone around, who has a 
transparent version of the logo?
I have made it transparent by using the "magic wand" tool of Photoshop, 
but the result is not perfect. I will give it another try later.
The thin white glowing shadow may be removed, if we don't like it. 
That's the recent version:
