I almost forgot one thing

You know i did the custom 404 page for talk playstation yesterday? A user e-mailed me saying that the ’search did not find anything’ page wasn’t very good as it just displayed ‘Not Found’.

An example of this is that google had indexed my login page, and robots meta has now put a ‘noindex’ meta tag to stop this from happening in the future. I used Googles removal tool...
