large gap in first post

I have wordpress 2.0.3. There is a large gap between the title of my first post and the rest of the content. I added a widget postRatings and put in the code after the title.

This only happens to the very first or latest post. How can I get rid of that gap?

The site is http://gastronomicaladventures.com/culinaryblog/

Thanks
