Description
It's not a big deal until deployment, granted. But, it would be nice to have something other than a massive white page with tiny black text when I break gmg. Chris said it would be bytesized, so I will try it! [BONUS] - something in config that tells this page whether to display for a deployment or development environment.

I can show how to set up middleware for this in paste.ini if you need help with it. It's not completely obvious.

sure, honestly I haven't started this one yet, so it will help get me going.

From `#442 </issues/442>`_ Aaron Williamson wrote: The error pages are dull, off-the-rack affairs; their appearance isn't consistent with Mediagoblin's otherwise lush visual theme and as Caleb Davis points out, they miss an opportunity to convey Mediagoblin's sense of whimsy and humor to users it has recently disappointed. He suggests something akin to Reddit's `you broke reddit <http://www.chaaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/reddit.png>`_ page. Other examples of amusing(?) error pages include `tumblr's tumbeasts <http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/tumbeasts.jpg>`_ and the `Twitter Fail Whale <http://tctechcrunch.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/fail-whale.png>`_, neither of which any of us has ever seen because we use free software only ever.

We release 0.0.4, so I'm bumping this to 0.0.5.

A simple 404.html page has been pushed. In the future me might want to add a search box or similar to the page. It still needs to be integrated though. The other error pages have not yet been made, but cwebber is busy making ASCII art as we speak. ;)

Jef and I worked together on this, and we now have 404 and 500 error messages that I'm very happy with. Closing this!
