So I was bored around 4am and decided to build out a custom error page for my blog…

Here is the script I used for the typing effect.

If you want a custom 404 error page on your Wordpress blog, simply edit the 404.php page in your theme.
Typically found here:
wp-content/themes/(your active theme)/404.php

Here are some funny 404 pages that inspired me:
404 Error Pages: Reloaded - Smashing Magazine
17 brilliant 404 pages and why they are cool - Royal Pingdom

A while back I started the tedious process of building a custom WordPress theme for my blog. I’d start a design and trash it sometimes in the same day.
