How to fix custom page not found on blogger

Basically this means that the page you’re trying to get to is unavailable or doesn’t exist. If you’ve followed a link and got this error page, it usually means one of two things:

Instead of seeing the custom page not found you can decide on what to be seen when readers see the page not found normally links would be the stuffs that would be added and it's purely HTML which shouldn't give you any issue editing it. Firstly the choice of word to be used must be enticing, it must have contents that would move the reader to click and the links must be valid..Make sure you remove

http://naijabrainies.blogspot.nl/2017/06/how-to-add-flying-twitter-bird-to-your.html?m=1 the ?m=1
