Hello! I code HTML by hand. Basic like paragraph breaks and so on are pretty automatic for me (I do this in my day job too).

Whenever I code an entry using paragraph tags, blockquotes, or div - basically, the div-level containers - I get large clusters of white space at the bottom of my entry.

You can see this here: I wanted to use the blockquote tag to set off artist E.K. Weaver's comments about her feed of the "TJ and Amal" webcomic. I should be able to get normal spacing with paragraphs within the blockquote, but because of previous experiences with paragraphs, I used double line breaks, which usually works.

But, as you can see, there still is a huge block of white space between the end of the blockquote and the last sentence of the blog entry. If I remove the blockquote tags, the spacing closes up normally. But then I would not be able to set off Weaver's remarks from my own comments.

Does anyone recognize what's up with this?

I'm using the Sunday Morning layout, and I have done basic customization of the colors and the graphic, but I have not added any CSS to the template.

Aha! Glad you got it sorted. 'Don't autoformat' seemed like it might be a culprit, so I thought it was worth mentioning *g*
