I should redo it. Actually, it would make more sense to have a screenshot of Obi Wan in the hover craft talking to the Storm Trooper....

Most of my 404 pages are at least themed to match their websites. I also have custom 403 and 500 pages, and a 410 page should be on my main sites.

I love themed pages to match the sites. I wish I knew how to do that more, I totally need to learn. I'm just alaways so afraid of breaking .htaccess lol

I usually put a .htaccess on each folder with a 403 and 404 redirect to the main page of that site... so lazy XD Maybe one day I'll make 404s for each site... or most likely not.

So a separate .htaccess for each website then? That doesn't seem too hard. ^0^ Thanks for the tid bit!

Perishable Press is an awesome ressource for .htaccess trips and tricks. He even wrote a great book about it, HTACCESS Made Easy.

Yup a .htaccess for each, I kind of do it automatically now and set it to the site's main page. Sad that I haven't considered a 404 in so long, but I did find an old 404 I had forgotten about while revamping Black Ring. It doesn't exist anymore, but I have a screen shot at the bottom of the past layouts page. Zarame, the reaper, encouraging you to renew your zombie loan. XD
