Hi,
I just noticed that all of my HTML has this extra "code bloat" in it that wasn't there before. For example, "span" tags and "div" tags have been added where none are required.
Eliminating code bloat is a big factor in getting pages to rank a little higher in search engines, but it seems that the WebSite Tonight WYSIWYG program is now automatically added a great deal of unneeded code. This really makes my HTML look like a mess.
Can anything be done about this, or do I need to go through each one of my pages and edit the unneeded code??

Hi Paul,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
We are planning to roll out some changes next Thursday (Feb 26th, 2009) and this will be fixed as well.
Thanks and have a good weekend.
Best Regards,
Lakshman
