I've just changed my layout and want my entries to be justified. On one page - every paragraph looks fine. But with the rest of my entries, the first paragraph is justified and every paragraph after that is to the left. I've looked at other sites and have been driving myself crazy looking at what I have because I just can't seem to find the problem. I'll post all of my HTML, but the problem I know is just down at the entry part. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How about:

</head>

<body bgcolor="FAEDC1">
<div id="image" style="position:absolute; width:200px; height:311px; z-index:1; left: 81px; top: -2px"><img src="http://ourworld.cs.com/pinkdivadesigns/playtime.jpg"></div>
<div id="entry" style="position:absolute; width:431px; height:115px; z-index:2; left: 94px; top: 293px;" class="entry">
%%short_description%% Written @ %%time%% on %%date%% 
%%entry%%
<a href="%%prev%%">Back</a> || <a href="%%next%%">Forth</a>
<center>Recent Entries 
%%older_entries%%</center>

would that work?

Still the same - the first paragraph is fine - but everything after that is still to the left. :-/

Yes - the first paragraph of the entry is showing up fine, but any paragraph after that is coming up to the left. I know it's just a little thing - but it's still bothering me - lol.

Care to explain for future reference for others who may have the same problem?

Yes, dabbler is correct this is a learning forum and it helps find the answer to others problems that are similar also. By using emails, we or other members cannot see the flow of problem solving. This is for all members. Thanks

At the very beginning of the code, I had to add: text-align:justify;

This changed all of my paragraphs and now they are all justified. :)

Thanks Cutenixie. If anyone else searches for the same problem, they now have the solution at their fingertips. This way we all help each other.
BTW - I forgot to say welcome to the forum, and I hope you will stick around to help, and learn from, other members.
