I'm making a blog with jekyll that uses an index.html page with links to blog posts, as you see below in the first code sample. The default layout referred to in the front matter is a typical layout file with css styling by Twitter bootstrap included. However, when I click a link to a blog post in index.html, the blogpost is displaying (i.e. the url changes, the blog post content is displayed), however, the front-matter from the blogpost is being ignored, or at least it's appearing that way since none of the css styling is working on the blog post. For example, the css for the Twitter bootstrap navigation bar only shows on the home page, not the blog post.
Can you explain why this might be happening?

{% for post in paginator.posts %}
<div class="row-fluid">
<!-- <div class="span12"> -->
<h2>{{ post.title }}</h2>
<h4>{{ post.date | date_to_long_string }}</h4>
<p>
<a href="{{ post.url }}">Read Post</a>
</p>
<!-- </div> -->
</div>
{% endfor %}
