After GoDaddy decided that actually serving our website was more of a suggestion than a commitment, we've packed up and moved to a proper home on Cloudflare Pages. Turns out handing a web hosting company both your domain registration and your hosting is a great way to have a single point of failure — lesson learned.
The new site is faster, more reliable, and hosted from GitHub, which means updates are as simple as committing a file. No more logging into some website builder and hoping it saves correctly.
What's here
This family area has two main sections: the photo gallery and this blog. Both are accessible only to family members — you've presumably already worked that out given you're reading this. The front page of the site is public and has the family crest and a brief history of the Gledhill name.
To add your own photos or write a post, get in touch with Clinton and he'll sort out access to the GitHub repo. It's simpler than it sounds — you can even edit files directly in the GitHub web interface without installing anything.
How to contribute
For photos: drop them into the /family/photos/ folder in the
repo and commit. Cloudflare will redeploy within about a minute.
For blog posts: copy the post-template.html file in the blog
folder, rename it to something sensible (e.g. christmas-2026.html),
fill in your content, and push. Then add a link to it in
/family/index.html so it shows up on the family home page.
More to come as we get settled in. If anything looks broken, blame GoDaddy — it's probably still their fault somehow.
