Paul Adams explains how to provide a custom 404 error page that's more useful than the default. Here at Fog Creek, we use CityDesk to generate our 404 error page; there's no reason your 404 page can use CityScript and templates. With some creativity you can do really cool stuff. For example, set a keyword “(404)” on the most popular pages of your site, then use CityScript with the condition (keyword_contains "(404)") so that anybody mistyping a URL at your site gets an index of popular pages.
