      There is a huge Spike in 4xx Client Error after new Wordpress Theme Change.

      Report shows URL that doesn't exist in the Referral Page.

      Missing URL (404) - http://www.happyschoolsblog.com/gre-test-dates-2011/happyschools/

      Referral - http://www.happyschoolsblog.com/gre-test-dates-2011/

      Likewise there are over 4000 errors (4xx) with happyschools appended to the URL. I'm not sure how to fix the those errors. Thanks.

        Hi Raghuram,

        You have a relative link hiding in your author bio, the one to twitter is like this:

        [happyschools/](<a class=)" title="Twitter" target="_blank">Twitter

        That will be the guilty one!

            Awesome. Thanks Lynn.

            Added absolute path to Twitter Handle. This should remove some 4000 or so 4xx errors.
