Fix Bad HTML, Please

Fake markup = unneeded closing tags? Anyways, the text layout is broken and the font's screwy. Please fix.
Danke.

It looks OK on IE6/Win98SE.

Unless it's been fixed prior to my post, in which case...never mind.

Yep. Seems to be okay now. There's been one comment since I posted this, so apparently, it added (back?) in the necessary amount of tags to even things out. It's maaaaaagic!

i noticed something odd related to closing tags yesterday - i posted some text inside <p>...</p> (been using xhtml at work) and it looked terrible on preview, at which point i remembered where i was and dropped all para-related markup...

You will pay for that, my Olivia Newton John quoting friend. Maybe not right now, but soon - and for the rest of your life.
