As they say, “Information is king”. Once the new site went live, some 404, or “page Not Found” errors were expected. Each morning, I look at the page views for the site. The views tell me a lot.

First, how many visitors are we getting, and what are they doing while they’re here? But the most important stats to me right now are the PNF (Page Not Found) errors. Those tell me where you were trying to go. From that, I can fix things.

You see, while the original site was built using Front Page, and loaded to the web with a FTP program, it is now built with WordPress, a CMS (Content Management System). The directory structure between the two is a bit different, so most of the bookmarks, and saved links you had stopped working.

Taking the info from the NPF errors, I was able to create a series of Re-directs, thus allowing everyone’s bookmarks to start working again.
