 * Hello everyone.
 * When adding a new page, even if I go directly to _html_ rather than _visual_,
   when I post, the editor encapsulates the content into <p></p> tags. For the layout
   of the page and perhaps the way the theme is written, it drops page contents 
   down and makes it uneven with the top of the left sidebar.
 * How can I get it to quit encapsulating everything in the <p></p> tags?

 * I’d recommend that you focus on finding out why the page content drops down because
   of a couple of paragraph tags.

 * Highlight everything in Visual and click any Text Align button a couple of times.
   This should add all the ‘p’ tags, then remove them.
 * Enjoy!
