Unique 404 Page

Posted on October 26, 2009 and last modified on October 27th, 2009.

The 404 page is unique in that it contains quite a bit of information about how to find things on this site. It is in the form of a template, simply called 404.php and can be changed as it is deemed necessary. Because it contains the various lists found across the site, it is automatically updated and should help the reader find what they are looking for without too much stress

I opted to leave the page as a template that does NOT contain the coding required to be used within the admin writing panel.

To view it, just make a mistake in the url after http://themes.freshlypressed.net, like this http://themes.freshlypressed.net/mistake

Note: In Internet Explorer 8 it appears that the correct 404 page only shows intermittently. I am looking into why this is and if I find a solution or alternative, I will add it here.
