When using Hugo with [github pages](http://pages.github.com/) you can provide
your own 404 template by creating a 404.html file in the root.

404 pages are of the type "node" and have all the [node
variables](/layout/variables/) available to use in the templates.

In addition to the standard node variables, the homepage has access to
all site content accessible from .Data.Pages

## 404.html
This is a basic example of a 404.html template:

    {{ template "chrome/header.html" . }}
    {{ template "chrome/subheader.html" . }}

    <section id="main">
      <div>
       <h1 id="title">{{ .Title }}</h1>
      </div>
    </section>

    {{ template "chrome/footer.html" }}
