How to deal with 404 errors effectively.
More website manner tips (with Keith Instone)

Various ways I deal with 404 errors on Usable Web.
- Fixing common errors automatically (redirects)
- Semi-automatically forwarding errors (so authors know they made a mistake in their link)
- On the back end, every error that I have not addressed specifically creates an email to me, so it is hard for me to ignore them
