It's no fun to get lost.

 

We all know those 404 errors all to well, when  you're looking for something and it's not there. Sure, it's a little depressing and frustrating — but the whole situation can improve by providing the user – the navigator- something fun to find if they get lost.

 

It's very "little red riding hood" when she's lost in the woods and leaving bread crumbs to find her way home.

 

I found a pretty wonderful list of these bread crumbs that will take you home via the Huffington Post.

 

1) Houston, we have a (404) Problem.

2) Blame an Employee for the issue.

3) A few post-it notes and a process map go a long way.

4) Blame a user (it's your fault!)

5) Play up on a popular reference.
