I couldn't get it to load from the ipfs.io gateway, nor my local ipfs daemon, but I could through cloudeflare's ipfs gateway.

That's the beauty of content-addressable networks! :)

It's also available at regular-old https://leotindall.com/

And at their IPFS gateway: https://ipfs.leotindall.com/ipns/Qme48wyZ7LaF9gC5693DZyJBteh...

(not that that's functionally much different than the regular page, of course)

Isn't this a failure of IPFS that you can't reliably get to the content even though you know it's address?

Yeah, that's what I'd like to know.

Being a total noob I enjoyed the article (thanks OP) then went on to wonder how this works. So first I thought it was available through all of these gateways, but then I read something about pinning - do the gateways pin the content? Or the "hosting nodes" (forgive my lack of knowledge about the terminology)?
