 * 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 would appreciate some help on how to deal with the issue.

 * By the way, you can have a look at the compreval plugin, at:
 * [http://wp.berkano.net/downloads/](http://wp.berkano.net/downloads/)
 * It does what you want, adding a preview function. (However, it does not work 
   for me as for some reason translations into other languages do not work, and 
   I am running a multilingual site).
