I have made changes to my template and even to the file structure without fully understanding what I was in for. Now I am trying to correct the problems I have caused. Good thing I am using my MMO blog to mess with instead of messing up my money making blogs. By the time I am done fixing things up I should be able to write a really helpful post for my readers, sure hope they will be able to find it without a 404 error.

I never really thought about a customized 404 Error Page, but now I can see how you can turn it into an asset for your blog! Personally, when I run across a 404 page I just give up. But if I saw one like yours I'd at least be intrigued enough to search your website a little more. It's the little things in blogging that can make a big difference! Hey great post Darren!
