Wordpress Theme Evil Fun

18.06.08

No it’s not the add links at the bottom, this is better evil but better..

get your designer to create a wordpress template as standard :

  • style.css - index.php - comments.php - comments-popup.php - single.php
  • page.php - category.php - author.php - date.php - archive.php - search.php

but before the you package it up and ship it out : edit the 404.php

<?

Header( “HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently” );
Header( “Location: http://www.Yoursite.com” );
?>

Get it … evil lol
