It's been forever since I wrote a new tutorial but lack of time it's the main problem for me.
So here is a new tutorial who I'm sure you will find it helpful.
Now that Blogger introduced the custom error page I will present you with a beautiful HTML5 404 error page with a nice sliding effect made by a little javascript code.
Because it uses HTML 5 and CSS3 patterns for the background it will have a little display problem in IE (the background pattern and the javascript effect will not be displayed), but for the others browsers it will be displayed just fine.
So without other boring explanations let's start with the implementation of 404 HTML 5 error page.
How to add the 404 page to your blog?
1. Log in to your Dashboard--> Template- -> Edit HTML --> Proceed2. Search for the <body> tag and right after it paste the next code:
<!-- Start-->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "error_page"'>
<style>
.error-page-404 {

3. Search "Ctrl+F" and find </head>. Before it paste the code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function() {
// Set error
var error = $('section[data-error]');
error.attr('class', 'error error-' + error.attr('data-error'));
});
//]]>
</script>
4. Find <b:includable id='main' var='top'> and after paste the next code:
<b:if cond='data:numPosts == 0'>
<data:navMessage/>
</ b: if>
That's it . Enjoy the new error page for your blog
IMPORTANT Some of the features from the error page implemented on this blog will not be available for you (search box style, some other different changes.)
