How To Make 404 Page For Blogger (FULL 404 PAGE)



Hello guys, today I'm going to show you how to make a 404 page for your blogger blog! I found this way by my self because I really didn't like that 404 ERROR blogger give, and wanted to make a full 404 page like normal websites.

So here are the steps in the video bellow:

1. Make a new blog, call it whatever you want

2. Change to blogger old interface

3. Click on design of the new blog, then Edit Html (Design > Edit HTML)

4. Look at the bottom of the page, you will find "Revert To Classic Template" > Click on that
Now you will be able to change the whole code of the blog, with no errors! in other words fully deface it!

5. Paste your 404 page inside that blog, then save it.

6. Go to your Domain Name host and add that blog as 404.YourWebsite.COM (Note:- You can change to anything not 404.yourwebsite.com, but i thought 404.yourwebsite.com will look better)

7. Now go to Your main blog, click on Settings > Search Preferences 

8. You Will find custom 404 page there, click on "SET" and paste this code in it:



9. Change the link in the Code to your 404 page blog, to redirect the user to it.

Now whenever someone open a broken link, the blogger 404 error message will have this javascript will run and redirect him/her to the 404 page!

Now watch this video for more Understanding!
