Good tip -- I comment code massively -- but it also tends to slow 
down load, which is already slower in a dynamic system than a static 
one. (Side note: someone recently told me that the difference between 
two versions of the same page, one static and dynamic, was much more 
pronounced for them in download time when they switched to home.com 
cable access rather than dialup. I don't know why... I just repeat.)  
It doesn't hurt to mostly finalize pages in a site, make a backup 
code copy, and then parse out most comments and blank lines in the 
file to make it as short and compact as possible.  Just another 
variant on the tip. -- Palyne

P.S.  I'm writing so much because I've had about 6 hrs sleep in the 
last four calendar days due to a deadline, and now I'm getting 
passive aggressive... I'm avoiding working. ;-)

Comment your HTML as much as possible. You can't overcomment. Especially if
you're doing templates some poor guy will have to integrate in his
ASP/CF/PHP/whatever code.
