Re: [margaretmh] unwanted break after summary

margaretmh,
I may be taking a shot in the dark here, but I think what's causing those huge breaks on your page is the image divider being used.
At the moment I just happen to be browsing the net using a slow wireless connection. While the page loads, I do see a big gap between articles, but that gap disappears once the page fully loads. If that's what we're seeing, it turns out this gap is just an image placeholder that your browser inserts until that image is fully downloaded onto your machine to display. Computers on slower connections, or computers that fail to download that divider image may continue to show that gap you're seeing.
I recommend looking into replacing that image with an <hr> HTML tag. It serves as a horizontal divider, and it's plain code, so there won't be that gap problem; plus it can be styled with CSS to look much like what you have now.
Here are some links which go over some interesting techniques to coding in a horizontal rule:

Apart from that, I'd have to agree with Donna... I don't see what would cause any real gaps between your articles summaries...
