Hey Keith,

I think I understand your problem better this time around. Your name and date are both wrapped by an h5 tag, so just apply padding/margin to that to get your vertical spacing. You may need to explicitly state that the h5 is a block/inline-block level element for this to work, since your reset doesn't make the <h#> tags block level.

I'm down to the last part of revising a little website, and have a problem creating vertical space in one location. I've mentioned this once before here, and I'll touch on that.

I have a line of text with my name as the author followed by the date the article was written or revised. I can't add margin below it because the date portion is inline, as Brandtley pointed out. Then someone else (sorry I forgot who) suggested I simply add margin-top to the first paragraph of the article (the current temporary fix). When I tried that, it broke the float that held the image at the top left of the first paragraph. The photo ended up placed on line with the author name and date written. That's why in this link, The image has been moved to the second paragraph. I want the option of using a photo leading into that first paragraph.

Yes, I can put a blank div between the author/date line and opening photo/first paragraph, but to me it seems clumsy. I'll only do it if I it's the only option. I don't want someone to come along later and see that blank div and say: "Gee, why didn't you just ... (better solution here ..."
