Page formatting help

Hi All,

I am using WP 2.5.1 with the Whitespace 3-column theme. I am very new to CSS/PHP and I have just ventured into WP within the past week. Needless to say, I am having a slight problem formatting my WP page.

Per the below link to my website, I am having a problem forcing the “Continue Reading…” string to a new line below an excerpt of my post. Currently the string is appending to the end of the excerpt.

The code to generate my excerpt is listed below. How do I make the “Continue Reading…” link appear two lines below the actual excerpt?

<div id="contentleft">

		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

                <?php the_content(__('Continue Reading...'));?><div style="clear:both;"></div>

I have a feeling this is a simple PHP command, however I cannot seem to figure it out. Thank you all in advance.

For example,

My current formatting is:

Yadda yadda yadda, this is my excerpt of a post. Continue Reading…

I would like it to be:

Yadda yadda yadda, this is my excerpt of a post.
