 * **Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme!** Your changes **will** be over-written the
   next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended
   that you consider creating a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   for your customisations.

 * You need to create copies of these template files in your child theme. You can
   then edit the copies as much as you like.
 * Your “missing code” block is probably in the parent’s loop.php template file.
