 * Hi, I have designed a new theme for my word press blog but I also want to customise
   errors on the site. Not 404 errors but say for example someone goes to leave 
   a comment and they do not fill in the email address, It currently just goes to
   a blank page saying:
 * Error: please fill the required fields (email).
 * Is there a way to make this more elegant and post the original form page with
   some HTML changes to highlight the issue?
 * I have been looking through plugins and searching through the docs here and Google
   searches but no luck.
 * Thanks. 🙂

 * I remember it being asked… but never a solution for it. (which doesn’t mean it
   doesn’t exist)

 * Oh dear… well I’ll keep looking. It’s a shame as it’s the only issue I have with
   WordPress other than that it’s fantastically customisable.

 * This issue drove me crazy. It seems like it should be obvious. The answer, I 
   think, is to edit /wp-includes/functions.php more or less between lines 1258 
   and 1275 (it is in a function called wp_die() )
