In any site, the designer or developer should make sure that the appropriate headers are sent with page requests. It is especially important to ensure that “Not Found” documents send out a proper 404 header.
ExpressionEngine gives you many tools to assist with this, so how about we explore those here?

I’m defaulting to a specific entry on the home page.
{if segment_1 == ""}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" entry_id="28" disable="member_data|trackbacks" rdf="off"}
<title>{title}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{exp:html_strip}{summary}{/exp:html_strip}" />
<meta name="keywords" content="{exp:html_strip}{keywords}{/exp:html_strip}" />
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{if:else}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" limit="1" disable="member_data|trackbacks" rdf="off"}
<title>{title} - My Site Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="{exp:html_strip}{summary}{/exp:html_strip}" />
<meta name="keywords" content="{exp:html_strip}{keywords}{/exp:html_strip}" />
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/if}When I put in the redirect code in the IF/ELSE portion, every page is a 404 error.
