When a user visits a page which hasn't been written yet, they get an error saying:
This page doesn't appear to be written yet. Why don't you start a new story?
The HTTP status of the response is 200 OK rather than 404 NOT FOUND.
200 OK
404 NOT FOUND
This means that Googlebot (and probably other spiders) will click on the pagination arrows to index all pages from 1 to ∞. This is not good.
Determine whether I should return a 404 with the page instead of a 200 and determine how to do this.
