When I run the W3C validator for this page: http://getinjuryanswers.com/practice-areas/dog-bites/, the outline view tells me:
I can't add an H tag to those areas. Is there a way to change the HTML5 in Genesis/Wordpress so that those 3 areas don't register as part of the outline?
Thanks.
Sorry for all the code, but below is the BODY code, Nav Code, and first article.

The outline feature of the W3C HTML checker is purely informative (I know because I’m the person who added the feature to it…). The [body element with no heading] message doesn’t indicate an error. Instead it’s just stating a fact. I think the only way to not have that message appear is to not have an h1-h6 element as a direct child of the body element. But since it’s fine for an HTML document to not have a h1-h6 element as a direct child of the body element (depending on what the purpose of the document it is), then you shouldn’t worry about it. It’s not broken or invalid or bad. It’s not something you need to fix.
