default theme – customize error messages?

    I am using the default theme/template as a foundation to create my own theme/template. Say you are on the comment page and hit submit comment without putting any information in, it will take you to a page sans-template with just one line of text as an error message.

    How would I go about creating customized WP error pages for pages like this? It does not have to be too stylized but I would like to do something a little more then what is there.

    Any help would be appreciated…

    thanks!

    I hate to contradict Michael 🙂 but those messages are not on a “normal” webpage that can be styled/designed. They are coming from the file wp-comments-post.php as “die” error messages: look at the address bar when they are displayed and check the source. There is nothing in the source that you can “customize”.
