# Validation – cut and paste HTML

 * After using a validation site, I have 63 errors that need to be fixed.
    I was
   provided with a long “cleaned-up” markup, but I can’t find a place where to put
   this complete markup. Am I only able to edit in smaller areas (comments, footer,
   header, etc) or is there a quick way to just cut and paste the complete markup?
 * thank you,
 * Rod

 * other than creating a completely new theme, there isn’t. You must modify the 
   header, footer etc .. providing that the validation errors are even coming from
   your theme.
 * Most validation errors comes from content / plugins.

 * Correct. You need to make your changes to the individual theme template files.

 * OK, thank you. I was afraid of that.
    A bit extra time, but worth it, I think,
   in the end.
 * thanks again,
