Christopher,
I suggest you reread what I wrote. There are two negative top margins that
you'd need to remove to get rid of the space. You didn't remove either of
those, according to what you stated, but instead just removed the negative top
margin on the paragraph that would allow it to go back into place after
removing the other two top margins.
You have a very "fragile" setup when tiny things like this can throw your
layout off. You might want to consider starting over.
