 * Why do I keep getting a space in random places of my posts/pages, which are not
   written to do so via html? How do I fix it? Thanks for your time

 * you will need to provide a link to the site of post so we can look at it to see
   what the problem may be.

 * Below is a link. You will notice a large space near the end of the post, which
   is not written into the code. What do you suggest? Thanks for your time.

 * Your page does not validate, to start with. 9 errors. Fix those problems and 
   then other issues may fix themselves. It would appear there are extra breaks,
   though. Spaces that large between paragraphs do not just happen for no reason.
   Are you by any chancing pasting your posts in from MS Word or another similar
   program? They are famous for inserting extraneous characters that turn posts 
   to garbage. If you must use copy/paste, use a plain text editor – not a word 
   processor.

 * Thank you so much for the tip on not using a word processor. I had been pasting
   from one. In regards to errors, how do I know I have them and where do I fix.
   Thanks again for your time.
