+      <p>Here are some places you might want to try:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+        <li><a href="/">Home</a> — Recent posts</li>
+        <li><a href="/tags/">Tags</a> — Browse by topic</li>
+        <li><a href="/weeknotes/">Weeknotes</a> — Weekly updates</li>
+        <li><a href="/search/">Search</a> — Find what you're looking for</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Or just <a href="mailto:eric@ericwagoner.com?subject=Broken link on blog">let me know</a> if you think something should be here.</p>
