Most of us don't really know what constructive thing to do with our 404 page, or if we know what we want to do, don't know how to do it. Doug's code give us the opportunity. It's a great idea for a Wordpress site. Hi Michael,

I'm sure this is helpful to a lot of <i>Wordpress</i> users! I always think it’s awesome when someone takes the time to actually do things that most other people COMPLETELY leave static.

I'm glad it's something Doug came up with and Brandon led me to. I would like to hear some more about how you do the redirect when someone hits an old page link. Like I said in my comment to Brandon, I can do desktop programming, but can barely hack my way around web programming. If you could do a post about it,or comment on it, or send me an email, I would really appreciate it. Hi Steve,

I put it into use straightaway! I also have a little add-on that I've used for a couple of years now that emails me with details when someone hits a 404. It's useful for catching bad links and also to set up redirects for old page links that may be floating around in the netosphere. Hey Rick — thanks for writing about that.

I can program in C++, but know little about PHP. I've been wanting to do something with my 404 page for a long time. This pointer to Doug's post was just the ticket. It was very helpful, Brandon.
