# Commented code in generated page source

 * Using WordPress 2.0.2, with heavily modified Connections theme.
 * When I look at the HTML source of a generated page in my browser, I see lots 
   of previous content and HTML markup in the source, but commented out, thus bloating
   the HTML file size, and download time, presumably.
 * For example, see: [http://www.acquaforte-etchings.co.uk](http://www.acquaforte-etchings.co.uk)
 * What may be causing this? It seems to be previous versions of the markup for 
   the sidebar <div>, repeated umpteen times.
 * Where do I start looking?

 * I would start by looking in your heavily modified theme files.
 * Here are some things that need fixing. [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.acquaforte-etchings.co.uk%2F](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.acquaforte-etchings.co.uk%2F)

 * Thanks for that manstraw. I’ve spent most of the day getting all posts to be 
   WC3-compliant. However that hasn’t fixed the problem.
    I’m wondering if it’s 
   a MySQL problem. I’ll investigate.
 * Thanks again.
