Update page templating to centralize header and metatada, add 404 page

Axel helped me unfuck the HTML and CSS so the background gradient
scaling no longer depends on the size of the body element, which I was
previously locking to the size of the outer html element, and locking
THAT to 100% of the view port size (which is awful code and bad practice)

Axel refactored this so that the outer html element and body element
both naturally scale to the browser size, as expected, and the CSS
background was changed to be fixed at 100% height/width regardless of
viewport size, which results in much cleaner code (thanks Axel)

+This is my second blog post, I'm still testing Zola!!! I just really wanted to see how longer form content looks and how it grows within my page

+hopefully this will work well, it seems good, as long as I can get the content of the actual blog post to appear lol...
