Set Custom Page Not Found Message in Blogger

Custom 404 (Page Not Found) error page for Blogger :

A 404 error page indicates that a webpage doesn't exist on your website or blog. Broken links are often the cause of 404 errors, usually due to deleted or changed post URLs. These broken links can still appear on Google search results, and if a visitor clicks on them, they will see an error message like "404 page not found." This can be disappointing for visitors and may lead them to leave your blog.

To avoid this, you can set up a custom page not found message in Blogger. This message will give visitors clarification about the error page. By default, Blogger does not have a custom page not found message, so you need to create one for your blog.

How to Set Custom Page Not Found(404 error) Message in Blogger:

Blogger has introduced the Custom Page Not Found option, which allows you to set a custom 404 error (page not found) message in your Blogger blog. However, before you can set a 404 error page, you need to create a custom 404 error (page not found) page for your blog. One of the best ways to create a 404 error page is to use your post editor. Simply click on "Posts", then "New post", and click on HTML to switch to HTML mode. From there, you can create your own 404 error page using simple HTML.

In this post, I will show you how to set your own custom Page Not Found (404 error) message in your Blogger blog. In a later post, I will provide instructions on how to create a custom Page Not Found (404 error) page for your blog.
