Hello, I'm working on a layout here: http://chris.motivatebusiness.info/ - and am having trouble with getting the paragraph text to position properly. If you visit the site, and scroll down a bit, right beneath the title:
"Pirate...A Guy You Can Trust."

you will notice the out-of-place paragraphs. Basically the text just needs to come down a bit, but when I try to bring it down with padding-top, or margin-top - everything in the box get pushed down, and that's not what I want.

Any help is very much appreciated...Thanks

Not sure I see the problem. When I put like 20px padding on the <p>'s holding the text, the text moves but nothing else does.

You're welcome
BTW, you should always apply the padding to the elements INSIDE the box, rather than to the box itself
