## Description

Allows you te set a page to be used as the 404 page. In order for the plugin to 
work you need to make some modifications to the `404.php` file in your theme. I 
set it this way so that the 404 page could be formatted to fit the theme, or can
be set more dynamically.

For more information and sample code: http://www.reitzdesigns.com/2010/08/dynamic-
404-page-wordpress-plugin/

Although this plugin will work with WordPress 2.8, it’s better suited for version
3.x.
