Blogger Error Page Message

Visit Blogger>> Settings>>search and prefeerence to fix

Have you tried to search or open a webpage and get this reply "404 page not found" ,yes the page is either down due to server issue or many other reasons. Here google/blogger said you could actually change that
generic web parlance of ''404 page not found'' to any other phrase you think is better relieving to your visitors  than just this one common to virtually all websites on-line save recently.

Tip: It's been found that with that default 404 stuff, a visitor is left completely stranded and without any clue of when to check on back or something fun and less moody; even a slight apology.

Example of a page error message(the one i use)

<div class="pagefound">
<div class="links">
<h2>Our bad, page not found!</h2>
<h3>Were you looking for one of these pages?</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://bloggerdemmy.blogspot.com/2013/12/posts-and-general-introduction.html
"> General introduction</a></li>
<li><a href=http://bloggerdemmy.blogspot.com/2013/12/create-post-with-post-editor.html">Create Post with Blogger Post Edittor</a></li>
<li><a href=http://bloggerdemmy.blogspot.com/2013/12/create-blogger-account.html">How Create Blogger Account</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

What i did here is that instead of having to leave my visitors disheartened with page error,i linked about three other posts here to ensure their comfort (three other posts other than the one looking for when the error occurred ).Unless the entire blog is down that they won't be able to pass through this links, even so, at least,unlike many other pages that will show 404 not found" this one will display " our bad page not found " "were you looking for one of these pages"..........."General Introduction" Create Post With post Editor" etc

All you need do in order to use the above script is to get the links(edit the post you want to use there and click on Links>> permalink on the write end bar of blogger post editor, that should automatically manufacture the link to that very post edited) to the post you want to fix there, you can see my post links, erase them and fix yours and then also replace the titles of my posts: " How To Create Blogger Account", " Create Posts With Post Editor" and the first one i didn't include here, up there,with the titles of the very posts whose links you fixed before NOTE: what your visitors will see instead of the long dirty link is just your post titles ...
                                                 
                                                           TESTING
To see what i mean, just try visiting this link http://Bloggerdemmy.blogspot.com/43435hsg and then compare it with this one http://Hycinthegbuna.blogspot.com/43543dfdg. You should both get error messages but the difference is now what mine the first one will show you and what this other blog address will display to you. When you want to test this after set up,like i did, enter any numbers at the end of the web or blog address you want to test it with.
