Suddenly no space after blog title – why? Help!

    Hi folks! Maybe this is a simple thing one of you “power users” out there can help me with, since I’ve been stumped trying to find the answer elsewhere. After blogging for two years now, and always having my blog titles show up with the posting date and a line of space under them, automatically, I just posted one today where there’s no auto-date and the blog text is crammed right up against the title in an ugly way.

    Here’s a link to the new post: http://careerhorizons.wordpress.com/2010/12/22/career-poll-how-best-increase-job-search-resolve/
    And here’s a link to an old post, showing how things USUALLY appear with the space under the title, before the body copy: http://careerhorizons.wordpress.com/2010/12/21/good-news-for-the-55-career-crowd/

    Checking the HTML and everything else, I just can’t find any place or setting that lets me fix the new post and get it back to the “normal” convention. Even copying and pasting the text into a NEW posting doesn’t seem to fix the problem. Any ideas? If so, much appreciated…

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Try this. Go to settings > writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then click “save changes.”

    Open that post in the editor, make one minor change such as adding a space and then deleting it, and then click “update post.” Check and see if it is back to normal.

    Old post: first paragraph enclosed in p tags, hence blank line above it.
    New post: first paragraph enclosed in div tags, hence no blank line.
    So change this:
    <div>FIRST PARAGRAPH HERE</div>
    to this:
    <p>FIRST PARAGRAPH HERE</p>
    Or simply remove the div tags.

    Thanks a ton to both of you. I made the first “Settings” change that was suggested, and while that didn’t fix things immediately (maybe it takes a while?) I then went and made the HTML changes that were suggested — which did the trick. Not sure how I missed that discrepancy, but sometimes it just takes a second set of eyes to look at something. Again, thanks to you both for the helping hand and quick response…
