I agree with 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' generally, but a dirty house isn't broken either. Cleaning is sometimes necessary. I did offer above to help clean this up more.

That offer still stands if you want.

As do I. That's why I suggested helping. Currently, there are quite a few areas that are oddly balanced due to the use of  tags. Using block elements, such as a  is best practice here. With the div, you can control the exact amount of space between one element and the next. See the example below (using borders so it shows up better visually).

This is an example block element with a bottom margin of 20px.

This is an example block element with a bottom margin of 35px.

This is an example block element with no bottom margin (will still have a slight gap due to a line feed though -- an automatic  ).

This is text under all that above.

And this is the code for reference. Notice, no  tags were needed.

In essence, with exact margins, you will be able to precisely place each block exactly where you want it without relying on  tags. What this does is help clean up the code (no 15-20 random BR tags) and gives you exact control.

As I said above, I will be happy to help roll that out for you and show you the difference using 10-15px marginal space. You will then be able to change them to the precise values you wish.

Again, I apologize for missing a few bits of code when I was trying to find the issue earlier (when looking for mismatched tags, it's much easier with clean(er) code as they are more apparent).
