Better 404 Pages
Good idea from Dean Frickey writing in A List Apart (the other ALA), A More Useful 404.
Encountering 404 errors is not new. Often, developers provide custom 404 pages to make the experience a little less frustrating. However, for a custom 404 page to be truly useful, it should not only provide relevant information to the user, but should also provide immediate feedback to the developer so that, when possible, the problem can be fixed.To accomplish this, I developed a custom 404 page that can be adapted to the look and feel of the website it?s used on and uses server-side includes (SSI) to execute a Perl script that determines the cause of the 404 error and takes appropriate action.
