Ghost Website Core Pages
Task #69
Status: READY — Navigation broken, needs immediate attention
Priority: HIGH — Soft launch blocker
Estimated Time: 3-4 hours
Problem Statement
Current Ghost CMS navigation has broken links:
- Home ✅ Working (Fire/Frost branding complete)
- Servers ❌ Broken (404 - no page exists)
- About ❌ Broken (404 - no page exists)
- Blog ❌ Broken (404 - no page exists)
Additional pages needed for legal compliance and user guidance:
